No, not a real solution. I have multiple machines at work. I've tasked one of them with running Outlook in the background for the sole purpose of archiving mail. I am then free to use Thunderbird as my primary email client. I only need to refer back to Outlook to view emails older than 90 days. Outlook is quit good at archiving, and I can import the archives into Thunderbird as needed. If I ever have time, I may look into creating my own Thunderbird plugin.
