I for what ever reason do not trust my self to store my critical digital information locally and thus store it all on these different free services that have a long duration (they or their parent organization) such as gmail and other such first gen on line file stores for the masses sites... well the issue is I am running out of disk room on gmail after 5 years of a no delete policy (10's is 100's of thousands emails) and I need to filter out and delete the ones I will truely never read from those that I might read and those that for a lack of a better phrase "OMG HOW DID I FORGET THIS ONE".... large numbers of these can be filtered out by some short of fairly trivial regular expression (a DFA that has no sub FA that is a NFA level RE's).... I can do this with some fancy download and store your local machine as a system in box and use procmail or something to do this... for personal reasons we dislike the idea of having download and then upload and are looking for a solution that can be completely in gmail.... namely we want to sort the archived mail into categories or do the same but sorted by sender... we then want to use it by googls good ad-hoc search allows us to comb the archieve while getting rid of email that will never be dealt with by with a human this requries some fancy gmail configs also... I do not expected anyone here to be but can anyone point me to a good site to start my studys on advanced gmail use
