ive got a massive apple mail backup, ive emails going back to when i had hotmail in the 90s and lots of personal and work emails ever since.

due to sending my mac in for repair, the old emails are backed up in time machine and in a separate folder too. i do sometimes need to find an email, but im hesitant to reimport everything into mail, as its running really snappy. instead of adding my accounts as pop ive added them as SMTP, and its all much better.

ideally what id like to do is have a different app just for the archive, so if i need anything i can open it, but keep it all separate from my new emails.

any advice?
