Hi
I want to archive messages from a selection of folders, that are older than a number of days, but can't quite get it to work.
I have a gmail account (IMAP) and several folders in it where incoming mail is automatically sorted. I want to archive read email in all these folders to a local archive, preferably by clicking one 'Archive' button. I don't want to include messages in Gmail's 'All Mail" or "Deleted" folders.
I've read about Thunderbird's Archive function and am happy use it to archive by year/month and folder structure. What it doesn't seem to do is select all read messages across the folders I've identified that are older than the number of days I've specified.
I can use the search/find function to select the read messages older than the number of days, either for single folder or all folders, but not selected folders. But I can't seem to then archive these messages - archiving isn't one of the options and if I go back to the Thunderbird Message menu, its only messages selected in Thunderbird that get archived, not the (selected) messages in the search/find results.
Am I missing something or an add-on or extension that does what I want?
Cheers
