This can be done by manually moving the folders to another directory and then do an "Add mailbox to list" to access the old folders.  This would require doing a complete rebuild of the hierarch.pm. It's the method I use and I move them to a separate user directory in my multiple user setup.  I can then either run as the user or  use "Add mailbox to list" to mount the other user mailbox.  The hierarch.pm & state.pmj do need rebuilding to remove all of the moved folders.

You can do the "Add mailbox to list" and point at a different directory and then create new folders and move the mail from one mailbox to the other.  You then delete the original folder.  Now you are showing two different mailboxes in the same structure.  Since the state.pmj and hierarch.pm are being updated with this process it's a lot cleaner albeit slower if there are a lot of folders involved.

Hello:

There is any way to implement some kind of hyerarchical storage in Pegasus Mail?

I have using Pegasus from 15 years to now, some folders have probably that age and no movement, in others I only store 2 or 3 last years with daily movement.

The Mail directory has 2 GB and some folders (*.pmm) of both classes are 115 MB+.

I looking for a way to move some old folders to a storage directory in order to low backup times, but that moved folders remains in Pegasus Mail folder tree.

Thanks in advance.

David has done the schematics on how to solve this for both Mercury and Pegasus Mail - but we will not see it until we reach version 5 of both products.
