For the time being I store the old stuff away Locally on a hard drive-
Some vital mail messages are stored on the server for also others to
access and copy, should they so wish. Many mail have also got
enclosures of various kind. With many thousand of mail that must be
stored and archiving system is therefore important. Thunderbird is not
at all ideal but, who knows what it might include when the programmer
group is reading.......
