How about creating a new folder, e.g., Inbox-2005. Then move all mails to be backed up into this folder. Archive this folder with soumething like tar czf Inbox-2005.tgz ./.thunderbird/.../Inbox-2005* (The three dots "..." have to be replaced by the exact path) Afterwards this folder can be removed. In case you need it back, just stop thunderbird, un-tar the backup archive file, and restart thunderbird again. -- Regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
