1. Create a Category called Archive
2. Create a Rule called Archive where the conditions are:
a. Date sent is > 120 days (or whenever you want)
b. Change status – Not Junk Email
c. Set Category – Archive
3. You can apply this rule to any of your email folders. It will mark all of the older emails as “Archive”.
4. You can then export “By Category” your older emails to whichever format you wish. (I think OLM is fine.)
I’ve never archived a single email in my whole life, when I don’t need the mail any longer I delet it, if the mail contains important information, which are essential for my daily life I back it up, but archiving mails for me this is like keeping all my old clothes although I know I’ll never wear them again (sorry, this is a bad example but I can’t think of another one know). Anyway to end this message, I use the lookeen backup manager to backup my mails in case someone is interested in the subject and still not confused by my message ^^
