296262 - "Retention" feature should offer archival options

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Joe McCabe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050601 Firefox/1.0+

The "Retention" preference (bug 11055) only offers the ability to delete
messages from a folder. It should also offer the ability to copy or move the
messages to a new folder on the same server, on another server, or to local folders.

Alternatively it would be incredibly cool to have filters be able to be run
automagically at preset intervals (e.g. every eight hours as 11055 currently
does). Then the user could directly control the actions to be taken based upon
the functionality of the rich functionality of the filter.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
