archive does not work
archive does not work. Whether I have 10,000 or 100,000 or 250,000 emails and I want to archive them - archive should work.
If you still find that the issue is happening, please see this help page for troubleshooting:

Agreed. Archive as implemented doesn't work. Even staying with in the 10, 000 message limit it locks up. Also, I would prefer to Archive oldest first, not newest first. i.e. LIFO not FIFO.

I think some of this may have to do with the checkbox functionality. In the case of archive there is an "All" option - so there is no excuse for it not to work.
In the case of checkbox, getting 50 at a time or even 1000 at a time is inadequate in some cases. If I want to select and delete 10,000 emails I should be able to do that.
The alternative is to provide a maximum mailbox size. I would love to be able to setup to keep a maximum of the last 1000 emails, but, there are now 186,000 emails and you make it impossible to work with that number. I just want to be able to delete them. They got there in the first place because I use them for development and test purposes. After a couple days they are useless.
