If you are using windows xp you should move the folder \Documents and
Settings\username\local settings\appdata\Opera\Opera\mail to your back up
drive. Then you have to edit the opera6.ini file located in \Documents and
Settings\username\appdata\Opera\Opera\profile\. Search for the line where
it says "Mail Root Directory" and type the new location for the mail
floders (i.e e:\operamail).

That`s all

I'd love to be able to back up my mail based on date, remove it from my hard disk (onto a backup drive or whatever), and if I eventually want to go back to it, just connect the backup drive, tell Opera where the backup file is, have the mails from the backup show in all the views thay were in before and be rid of the backed up mails with no further worries.

The first part works by setting up a view which auto-filters mail by date. I could then export and delete all the mail in this folder, but if I then import it again, will it appear in all the views where it was before? And do I need to copy the mail back to my mail folder (and remove it again later), or could I just have them show up while the backup drive is connected and be gone as soon as I unmount the drive?

Cheers,
