Follow the steps below to archive older emails:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select the emails you want to move to an archive folder<\/li>\n<li>Right-click on the emails<\/li>\n<li>Choose Archive, and Thunderbird creates archive folders and moves the email messages automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During archiving emails, users often mix the emails in a single archive folder, and it leads confusion to find important emails. Additionally, the archive folder does not provide flexible splitting options such as splitting by size, date, year, or folder.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"method-3-use-esofttools-thunderbird-mailbox-splitter-tool\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 3: Use eSoftTools Thunderbird Mailbox Splitter Tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When dealing with large-sized Thunderbird Mailbox files that contain several thousands of emails, <strong>eSoftTools <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esofttools.com\/thunderbird-mailbox-splitter.html\">Thunderbird Mailbox Splitter<\/a><\/strong> can help easily and split by multiple criteria such as split by Size, Date, Year, and Folder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This automated tool saves significant time and effort by efficiently splitting large Thunderbird mailbox files into smaller files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Manual Approaches to Manage Thunderbird Emails Method 1: Organize Emails into Multiple Folders Alternatively,\u00a0users can create additional subfolders and manually move emails into them.
