mail box size and options
im after some help please. Please could someone help and advise what the size of gb allowed on a single email account on TB ? also can it be increased by paying for more space ?
secondly ; i am using imap due to syncing across multiple devices ( pop3 doesn't sync for me with my iphone / pc ) Could i save emails by filing them to a folder on my pc if i am running out of server space ? and if so how would i go about that? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can give me. Cheers

First, Thunderbird does not administer account space; that is provided by your email host. To increase your allowed space, see if they offer upgrade options. Second, if you are using Gmail, you can save a lot of space by unsubscribing from the AllMail folder. Third, to save space on the account, you could do this:
- create a folder in Local Folder
- highlight some messages and rightclick and select 'COPY to' the folder. Then, while still highlighted, click delete, to delete from server
- OR, you coul create manual filter to copy and then delete.
Thanks for that david . i will ask about upgrading space.
im not sure what you mean by gmail.. i use TB on laptop and the standard iphone email app on iphone..?
If i save a file like you say, ( into a folder ) this then stays on my pc but i can open it at a later date ? And if that is correct ; can i then use it to restart the email conversation again later ??
Sorry for the daft questions , im learning ... TIA
Having email on your PC does not prevent any routine use of the message, such as replying or forwarding. It will remain on your PC until you delete it. My comment on gmail was only if you are using a gmail.com account. Otherwise, just disregard.
