I have a lot of emails collected over the years that I cannot delete -
I need them. As a result, my OE has become bloated. I would
appreciate some ideas on archiving old messages. I would need to
create different identities, one for instance would be for stock
market subscription newsletters. Another is for an art subscription
and all things art related. Yet another is for music. I could make an
identity named by years, including 2 or 3 years for each one.
Some things don't lend themselves to yearly sorting...you need
everything together. Oh well, I think I've said enough so that you get
the idea. I still want to "prune" my archives, though, so I'm open to
any suggestion to constructive methods of handling large quantities of
emails.
IF these emails are important to you?
I would suggest some secondary backup outside of you email software.
I backup my mail folders as part of a monthly process, which reuslts in
minimal loss and short restore.
If your using OE?
Just do a search from "*.dbx", then copy those to a CD or DVD depending
upon size.
Another caution to consider is keeping the INBOX to a minimum with a
good sub-folder structure.
Saving some emails outside of your email software and to you local file
folders (Windows Explorer or My Computer) is another possibility. There
are softwares for mass exporting of these emails.
