When a mailbox becomes too filled up with too many messages I just archive the old messages simply by zipping them up. Doing that conserves my disk space. I may unzip and re-open an old archive at any time I want to look for an old message. Easy. No problem. I would do the same even if I were using a really bad email program such as Outlook. I don't like to see a mailbox having more than about 500 messages. It takes too long to page down to a place near the bottom of the listing. I have my mailboxes set up to sort by delivery date from oldest to most recent with the older messages being at the top. I like it that way. Almost all of the messages I am currently dealing with are near the bottom. There are a few of my old messages that are important enough to refer to in the future for re-reading and review. I move those kinds of messages to a separate folder. With Arachne it is very easy to organize and sort out my email messages. I do not know of any alternative mailer that is easier to use for that purpose.
