IMAPCopy variants can often save copies of all mail in a file storage

Most mail clients offer archiving

Exactly what are you trying to achieve?

for your PC have a look @ http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-h ... iving.aspx
if you need something on enterprise level, try to google "MAILARCHIVA" older open source editions. new version offers some free options too but not sure..

I am trying to cleanup databases and file storage on server level for each user that way I don't need to increase their size everytime. I would like to run from this date to this date archive all users emails. I will write them in discs
