Hi

Can someone please tell me the VB commands to go through each folder in my
mailbox, and move any item larger than a certain size (e.g. 250KB) to the
folder with the same name in my archive?

I frequently fill up my inbox space quota, and find physically moving large
items to the archive to be time-consuming. Auto-archive only works with
dates, not email size - hence why I'm asking the above question.

Regards

Kevin

Kevin, there's not one single command. Loop through the Items collection of
that folder with a backwards running For-Next loop, which looks like this:

For i=Items.Count To 1 Step-1
....
Next

In the loop check each MailItem's Size property, it tells you the size in
Byte. For moving an item call its Move function and pass a variable with the
target folder. That function is explained in the VBA help.

I'll give that a try. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
