I tend to keep most of my outgoing and incoming email that passes the "read, delete" sieve. And periodically, I am faced with filing possibly-useful-in-the-future mail in the appropriate folder.
This is extremely tedious and mostly a waste of time.
The idea is to automate this function without
having to write a bunch of rules. Enough observation of previous filing habits should deal with 90% of the filing. The remaining 10% could be ignored, or the application could suggest new folders, or deletion of elderly unaccessed folders.

Just create a new mail folder (.pst in Outlook) each
month. |

I find I usually have 2500-3200 per month (inwards +
outwards) that I have to save, with attachments.
That equates to somewhere between 6-8GB per
month. |

If you don't hive them off regularly they tend to bust
your computer, I find. |

"Hot Russian babe thinks you interesting - Corrective Action 0038" is the header of an email I sent today to a cow-orker who is lagging. |

"I have 6.5 million euros, need your help getting Corrective Action 0038 closed in your country". |

//a cow-orker who is lagging// That's very advanced preparation for winter - or are you in the Southern hemisphere? |

I so wish that it was a case of spam and bombarding
everyone, [bigsleep]. I delete everything I can get
away with deleting but it still builds up. |

The problem is that almost all of my clients use email
to send me work and their attachments blow it all
out of proportion. I've tried to get them to use FTP
but it's too difficult to teach the technologically
illiterate to use something that involves thinking. |
