Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Icedove has become very slow and clumsy, probably due to the large number of messages in
many of my folders. Messages don't show up a unread until I actually click on the folder.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I tried to archive my old messages but found the funtion incredibly awkward to use. The
problems are:
- I need to select the messages to archive instead of just telling Icedove to archive
  messages received prior to a given date, and
- I need to do this folder by folder, instead of having Icedove archive entire folder
  hierarchies.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
I don't know. I'm still in the lengthy and awkward process of archiving e-mails and will
be for several more hours.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I want to be able to archive an entire mailbox, including all subfolders, in a single
command, preferably for all messages received before a specific date. I like that Icedove
is able to break the messages up by year to create archive folders that way, but this
functionality could be a lot better with the improvement's I've suggested.
