Different email applications have different facilities so I can't speak to them all. This isn't a capability supported by the IMAP protocol. For Evolution, one option is to select all the messages you want to archive and drag them to your "On This Computer" INBOX which should copy them onto your local disk. Then you can delete those selected files from your IMAP account. You can make new folders in the "On This Computer" with dates and copy all the email up to that date to that folder, or whatever. I have not ever tried this, note. You shouldn't delete email from your server until you've verified it's all present as expected in the local folders. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
