Here is my situation. I use Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.10

I have several email accounts, a ton of email folders and sub-folders and there is a lot of past emails that are just cluttering my hard disk, but which I also want to keep. So I don't want to simply delete them, I want to move them out of the default Thunderbird storage directory.

TIA!
