@WoJ Filters are what you use to automatically delete messages meeting certain criteria. Is the problem that, even with the older_than: criteria, the messages only get actioned by the filter when entering your inbox, and so after that, the filter won't trigger when the messages become older than the given period?

| Jan 15, 2013 at 13:28 | comment | added | WoJ | Thanks but this is not what I was looking for. I know that I can search for emails meeting certain criteria. What I want to do is to have an automated way to handle them (delete in that case), without manual actions from my side. | |
