Hi,
Total newbie to this question. My wife and I have very large mailboxes in Apple Mail which obviously slows down booting up. The size is mostly due to the need to retain older business related emails as a record and to access them for reference. We have mailboxes dating back to 2008, 2009, etc.
Yes, I can certainly trim some items, yes, you could make a case that we don't search for an email from 2008 that often, but the real issue is: how can we preserve these in a way that they ARE accessible if needed and yet trim the size of what Mail loads every time we open the App?
I wish there was a way to have "multiple mail data bases" for Mail and to tap into them as needed versus just 1. Or something.
I've poked around at some PDF-type archive solutions and someone always rants at how terrible "software x" is... how "it destroyed their system..." so I'm not sure what to do.
Any advice on how to handle this in the best way would be GREATLY appreciated!
Best,
Joel
