First, thank you for all you do. I've been using Mozilla products for over 20 years and they have been great overall. Here is an issue I have noticed, I have a lot of old emails. The problem is that I don't access them very often but they make my Thunderbird profile quite large. I would like to be able to move those emails out of my profile but have the ability in TB to access them occasionally on demand from inside TB. I do not want to have to open a completely different profile. I'm probably not expressing this well. Here is an example. In my TB profile in Local Folders there is an Archives folder. In Archives I have subfolders by year, 2010, 2011, 2012 and so on. I do not need those old emails stored in my active TB profile. I may not access them even once a year, but I would like to keep them. I would like to be able to move them to a NAS connected by SMB via mapped drive or preferably UNC, but have some sort of link to them from within my active TB profile. Maybe "Archives-Stored" or "Archives-Deep"? When I click on that new Archives-Stored or Deep only then would it connect to the NAS (or other stored location, an extra HDD in system for storage 😧 or E:) and display those emails. This could be restated as "outside of current profile archive storage with access from current profile". Some might lable this as Deep Archives, or Cold Storage. I can't imagine that I am the only Thunderbird user who stores old email and thus has a large profile. Ultimately, reducing profile size might make the TB interface faster? if profile size decreased would it not help the overall experience? I know it would be nice to have a smaller profile for nightly backups. My idea is similar to "Archive to a different disk" https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/archive-to-different-disc/idi-p/16280 I hope you might consider implementing this idea in some form. Thank you again. #Thunderbird
