Hi,
	I am a happy KMail user.
However I have a request ( OK, so why else would I be here :)
I have one of my filtered mail boxes which contain over 27000 mails
and even though once it's loaded it's fine, it's the amount of memory that it 
uses to get these which is a bit of a pain ( roughly 64 MB ).
Now what I'm think of doing is to implement an "archiving" function.
It's not going to be very sophisiticated ( I really don't think it has to 
be ), but what I'm thinking of is an option on the context menu in the folder 
pain which would allow you to archive all of the emails ( configurable but 
probably from 4 weeks previously ). The archive would be a folder somewhere
up the folder tree ( i.e. towards "Local Folders" ). 
I don't yet have any code but I have been looking at KMail. So if anyone is 
interested, or can point me in the right direction ( maybe someone already 
has something sitting on their harddisk ?), I'd appreciate it.

Anyway I'll have to implement something before my folder reaches 30000 ( only 
a few weeks away ).
Regards,
CPH
