   What I do to 'archive' messages   
   I move all the messages I want to archive to a folder with a unique   
   name. Then I quit Mozilla, go into the profile and remove the file with   
   that name and store it outside of the program. I leave the .msf   
   and .sbd (if it exists) in the profile.   
      
   If I want to access the folder again, I simply take it and drop it into   
   the profile, the index will be updated at that time   
      
   I suggest using a name for the folder with a date, or a month/year in   
   the name so you can avoid duplication   
      
   Its simple but it works.
