I just sort them.
I have a slew of mailboxes I stash stuff that I want to save.
And they are sorted alphabetically!
I quit using mac mail, got tired of the BS.
I just use web mail (log into yahoo mail for home and use web outlook for work) for all my mail.

Quote from: DigiCorn on August 07, 2014, 02:23:33 PMI have every email since January of 2008.

Back when we used to archive work to tape, one of the tapes broke. We lost about 200 jobs. Some of them have come back for reprint. In some cases, thanks to those old emails, I have the attached art files.

In your inbox though right? Goldmine is cool in that you can file an email to someones history and you can look at that particular contact and see all the emails anyone in the building has sent to this person.
well, yeah, but you don't have to do it that way. You can archive to a local directory as well.

You can export a mailbox in Apple Mail which works for archiving purposes.

Mac mail at home, never deleted any emails and I'm pretty sure there is an automatic archive setting at least for attachments.  There was a folder full of stuff but I haven't checked since I upgraded to Mavericks.

At work its PCs so Opera on one, Outlook on the other.  Opera blows big time.  Limited disk space means we only keep 6 months emails and I have to clean out the spam every few days (we get a LOT of spam).

I use Apple Mail, because like everything Apple does, it's the bees knees.  :cheesy: :sarcasm:

... actually I do and it's not too bad. I do prefer the gmail format tho... especially how it threads emails.

You can have Apple mail to thread emails to. Myself I prefer not to have them threaded though.

Too much work. Duct tape is much easier.

For Thunderbird users, when I manually move an email into anther folder it asks me if I want to compact that folder. Do I?

I do. Makes no difference.

It's not really a folder but a mailbox file. You should do it every now and then but you shouldn't have to every time you move an email. Mailboxes can become fragmented just like a hard drive. Compacting them recovers empty space and will make them smaller...and faster to access.

I should say it makes no difference in how you access old emails. Compacted ones will search/display as quickly as non-compacted ones.

Great, thanks for the info! I was afraid I'd lose attachments.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks my Mac Mail has been playing up - constantly asking for account passwords seemingly because the trusted certificate is no longer a trusted certificate.  Anyone else had this problem?

Not on mavericks but mine does that all the time. It just gets dumb for some reason and at times it won't even take the correct password.
