Archiving Folders of Messages
Archiving older messages:
I know how to archiving a years worth of messages -- one message at a time, or by selecting a hundred messages at a time IF they are all in the same folder. A painful way to archive dozens of folders full of a years worth of messages.
Why should I be forced to drop into a folder to select the messages? Why not provide a mechanism to archive FOLDER?
I'd really like to select Local Folders (recursive) and hit A to archive -- and be allowed to select Messages older than.
This allows mail to be stored/archived easily by year - and keeps the active Local Folders small and resilient (keeps Thunderbird from being overwhelmed with large folders that seem to bring the app to its knees.

Simply archiving an email will place it in yearly archives by default. No need to do anything manually. Or you can make your own choices as to what happens. You can even set it to retain your folder structure.
None of that actually applies to Gmail accounts, as GMail hard code the all mail folder for archive so while copies may be made, archiving is not really working as it should.
Then you might want to look at this addon https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/archive-old-messages/?src=search
I know nothing of it, but it sounds like what you are asking for.
