assigning a tag to mails in an archive

Hi,

using Mailing lists I have several mailing archive folders. When clicking on a folder all mails of this folder are displayed. I have a folder for each month. Now I would like to assign a tag to mails of the 12 mailing archives of a year e.g. mailingListUsers2008. The manual way is to click on each archive, select all mails and assign a tag. Is there a faster way to do this?

Regards,
Toby

You can select more than one mailbox at a time. You can also create a smart folder that shows the contents of an entire folder of mailboxes.
