searching a way to archive away old emails and still be able to search them

*Hi Colleagues *

I am looking for a way to move away some 100’000 emails I collected over the 
last 15 years, but I would like to still be able to search them.


My situation is as such:

I get all my email on robert at redcor.ch <mailto:robert at redcor.ch>which I forward 
to rw at redcor.ch <mailto:rw at redcor.ch>.

The mails at robert at redcor.ch <mailto:robert at redcor.ch>I do not touch and leave 
them as they come.


The mails at rw at redcor.ch <mailto:rw at redcor.ch>on the other hand I read, manage, 
sort into folder, etc.

Only when I am searching for some old stuff I go into robert at redcor.ch 
<mailto:robert at redcor.ch>'s mailbox.


As you can imagine, the number of emails has become huge. In fact, at the moment 
I have 162479 unread emails.

Working with such a lot of mails is very slow and cumbersome.

So I would like to move everything older than about 2 years to an archive 
outside the mail structure. However, I would still like to be able to search 
through them similarly to what I do now with Thunderbird.


Can somebody give me an idea, how to do that?


thanks a lot

robert
