For instance, you need to archive all of those pesky bill receipts in one place. Folder Archive Agent can easily accommodate those needs.
This dialog will have a tab for each of your configured accounts including Local Folders and you will need to configure all accounts that you wish to use this feature with.
The first option allows you to enable/disable the folder archive agent. It is disabled by default, to enable check the Enable check box.
You can set the location of your Archive folder by clicking the folder icon next to Folder: and selecting the folder you wish to use.
For example, you could create a folder called “bill receipts” by clicking the New Subfolder... and typing bill receipts in the dialog. You may choose a folder location anywhere, e.g... a folder in your “Local Folders” or on your IMAP server.
You have several choices on how the emails will be archived:
- Unique folder - Uses the selected folder sorted by date.
- Folder by months - Creates new folders inside the selected folder by months.
- Folder by years - Creates new folders inside the selected folder by years.
Now when you receive a bill receipt, right mouse button the email and select Archive from the menu. The email will be archived into your configured archive folder for easy viewing later on.
