Hey Folks,

I'm looking for some advice. I handle 'MAJOR' amounts of email each month, following source code changes and various mailing lists.

Now, I have rules to filter each email to the appropiate folder. However, is there a way I can archieve the mail from say September-Current Month? I like to normally archieve my email after so long so the folders dont become so damn huge.

So, I'm looking for any advice or tips people can provide! Thanks!!
 
Mail messages are stored in the ~/Library/Mail/ folder of your your user account. Each message is a file with extension .emlx. These are distributed across the various folders that you have created within Mail application. Unlike Entourage, Mail does not have a built-in archiving facility. However, MacOS X 10.4 does have Automator. Between Automator and Spotlight, you should be able to create very sophisticated scripts which will archive either your mailbox structure or just individual messages based on your criteria.
 
I've given it a shot but not got far. I've managed to work out how to find all messages in a mailbox but I'm not sure how I move them to a folder.. Any tips? I'd just like to move all messages old than a month to an Archieve folder

Thanks:D
