*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55827 *** I don't think this is a duplicate of 55827. 55827 addresses the problem of extracting messages for archiving from the existing folder tree. This wishlist item addresses how one can access an archive without modifying the existing ~/Mail directory. It thus addresses the opposite side of the coin: retrieval rather than storage. Being able to access a saved copy of ~/Mail (or something else with the same structure) without modifying ~/Mail would be extremely useful. It would enable one to save the ~/Mail folder to a CD, say, and then later look at the contents of that CD to retrieve ancient messages. An option for read-only access to such auxiliary mail folders would probably be needed. The natural interface for this facility would be an alternative to "Local Folders" at the top level of the folder tree. I hope that this wishlist item is given serious consideration. |
