Well now you see :-> this is just the problem, there  are 33,000 in my
inbox, used for my client support, and thats just since the beginning of
the year.
and in my FC1 folder there are 13000 in my glug folder there's only about 8000
and in various others (business|personal|funnies) accumulative amount of 21,500 
more or less.
So I figured it time to backup and cleanup.
The problem being that I have so many filters and folders that it going to be pain staking 
to go through all of them one by one.

I guess I was wishing for a tool to do the job, Ah well bleeding knuckles it is.
Thanks mate
