Yes, I understood. M> You don't need to do it in advance. M> Once you decide "Folder X" needs archiving: Once I decide the folder needs archiving, there's no longer a need to archive messages with the method you describe since, at that point, it won't be accepting any other messages. All I need to do at that point is move the whole folder to my archive folder. The original no longer exists. Sometimes I can't do that right away for whatever reason so, over time, more than one such folder exists. This is where the problem comes in. TB only allows moving one at a time and those moving tools don't work well. >> It really should be part of the program but TB has always been >> lacking in basic tools and options so I don't expect much there.

Yes, there are options to move folders but they are very primitive by today's standards (even those of five years ago). -- Jack ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
