My "Inbox" folder has gotten unwieldy large. I have created an "Old_Emails" folder. I want to move all pre-2011 Emails to this Old_Emails folder, all 2011 Emails to the 2011 folder, all 2012 Emails to the 2012 folder, etc. Then, on 01/01/2018 I want to move all 2017 Emails to the 2017 folder. How do i do that? Thanks, Tony_O .

I use Mozilla Thunderbird on Ubuntu Linux.
