Thunderbird Tech Support I need to look back at about a 5-year history of my e-mails and their associated conversation strings. If I move e-mail files from the Thunderbird “Inbox” to various “Archive” directories I’ve set up, will this resolve e-mail Disk Quota Limit warnings from my “Domainit” domain? Conversely, if I delete e-mails from my Domainit e-mail account, to resolve the Disk Quota warnings, will I still be able to bring forward the e-mails I’ve Archived in the Thunderbird directories. Or is it all far more complex than this? I would appreciate some guidance on this. Kevin Powell

I believe the issue is simple, at least, mostly so. You can create archives in Local Folders and doing that will remove archived messages off the server, no longer counted toward quota.
