Creating a rule to sort by date

T

Tim

Hello,
I have about 40-50,000 emails I need to sort and organize. I have kept
almost all of my emails since I started my business in 2003.

Anyway, I was hoping to create a rule that would put all of the emails into
folders by year. I don't think I need to be more specific because Google
Desktop is much better at finding things than I am trying to search through
the different subfolders.

Does anyone know how to make this kind of rule? I assume I use an if/then
statement but can't find any documention.

Thanks,
Tim

Use the condition "received in a specific date span"

And it would be nearly as fast (if not faster) to select the span of
messages and drag them to the new folder.

Not if you want to rearrange multiple folders at once. With using rules you
can get the items out of any folder in one go.
