I agree Adam, and that's what I've just done. The whole process took
about 20 minutes, including checking that they’re all been moved
over, unsubscribing the empty folders, and then killing them.

I decided in the end that I wouldn't really have any benefit keeping
them in monthly folders, not now I've got the searching working
well. So I'll now just update the "namazu" database, and then I'm
all set for 2015! :)

Thanks.

Sharon.
