Archiving older messages:

I know how to archiving a years worth of messages -- one message at a time, or by selecting a hundred messages at a time IF they are all in the same folder. A painful way to archive dozens of folders full of a years worth of messages.

Why should I be forced to drop into a folder to select the messages? Why not provide a mechanism to archive FOLDER?

I'd really like to select Local Folders (recursive) and hit A to archive -- and be allowed to select Messages older than.

This allows mail to be stored/archived easily by year - and keeps the active Local Folders small and resilient (keeps Thunderbird from being overwhelmed with large folders that seem to bring the app to its knees.

I've been using T-Bird for some time now with no problems. Yesterday Xfinity wanted me to change my account password, which I did. This morning I tried to check email and got an error message stating the incoming mail server didn't accept my password - the new one I'm assuming. After several tries I switched it back to the old password which still didn't work. I'm giving T-Bird the Xfinity login password -- is that correct or is there something else that T-Bird is looking for? As a side note -- I just spent 8 days in the hospital and they've got me on a medication that really messes up the higher functions of my brain. I feel as though I'm in a heavy fog and half asleep. Any help would be appreciated... and THANKS~!

Hi! I have trouble setting the date format in the emails list. It should be the UK format as per the setting selection, however it is showing the American format. I am using Linux Mint and timedatectl says Time zone: Europe/London (BST, +0100)

I have attached screenshots. Please let me know what am I missing. Thank you.

My e-mail inbox shows a high gigabyte use-age rate, but I only have a few messages in there. I get my messages a couple of times per day and delete emails I don't want to keep. Now it will not get all my new messages as it saying I have run out of disk space. It seems that messages I delete don't really get deleted?? even though they go to trash and I clean the trash folder. I have tried compacting but that didn't work. It seems to be only on my win 10 laptop, as my XP computer is working fine. I have plenty of disk space left on the hard drive. Thanks in advance Bob Parkman
