Delete based on age of email?
Hi all,
Question for ye: Is it possible to set a rule either in Rules or via Sieve that will delete based on the age of a mail. If sender: X AND IF Date: >30 days THEN Delete My aim is to automatically delete (or send to trash) subscription based emails once they're past their prime as it were. |

Rules and sieve work on new incoming emails. So not really applicable for dealing with emails already received.
To achieve what you want, I suggest shifting your subscriptions to a folder, maybe called "Subscriptions", and set that folder to delete emails older than 30 days. The setting for deleting emails after a particular time is found under the advanced settings for a folder and is called Auto-purge. |

Gardenweed, that'll do the job perfectly.
I got so caught up think about rules I never even considered another way. Many thanks! |
