How does archive work in thunderbird




















You will then see your archiving folder in the left column under "Local Folders". You can now either drag and drop emails from your Inbox to your archiving folder in the left column, or you can right click on emails and choose to move them. See the example screenshot below. Remember, you can drag and drop or choose to move multiple emails at once.

PagePlay Home Guides. Archiving the mailbox plays a very significant role as it allows to have a wider access to data and also acts as backup, which can be used in unfavorable server situations.

In the above article, we have demonstrated the complete procedure to make valuable users understand how to archive emails from Thunderbird to local folders of your PC. The newly generated archive folder can be located in the Thunderbird folders.

Once you have created a new archive folder, follow these steps to archive the required emails: Open the mailbox folder from which emails need to be archived. Select the required emails to be archived into local folder. Choose the archive folder where you wish to move the emails When the above steps are completely followed, the selected emails gets moved into the chosen archive folder and user can easily access those emails from the local archive folder.

Click on Mail folder to view all the folders of mailbox. ALL mail is in all mail and copies are displayed in the various folders that gmail created "on the fly" using tags on the mail in "All mail. What determine it is if the server automatically archives.

Setting the archive folder except for gmail to an archive folder on the Local Folder tree will free quota. Local Folders are local storage on your local hard disk. The only limitation there is the size of the disk and your ability to maintain backup. However using by year folders and "retain original structure" makes finding things easier and keeps the size of individual folders down. While there is no technical limit to a folder size. What you can and can not do in a large part has to to with the configuration of the mail server.

As I said earlier. It over rides things. Thunderbird for instance can not archive automatically. Servers can and often do. Automated garbage collection and aging of mails are features the server vendors are justifiable quite pleased to offer. What options you get to opt out is also up to the server administrator. Very cool trick with the All Mail view, which was a much faster and cleaner way to understand what's still on my server.
