<div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div style="white-space:normal"><p dir="auto">I have several mailboxes that show me old mails that are due to be deleted, some after 30 days, some 6 months, some 1 year. Notably, I do not use automatic deletion as I want to check them before deletion. Those smart mailboxes user date-received as the condition and that works really well. I have submitted in lighthouse an enhancement request, though, to be able to set how often those mailboxes update. Ideally, I’d like to deal with deletions only once or twice a day — the increasing counters prompt me (not force me but I feel compelled) to delete several times a day.</p>

It might make sense to introduce a virtual date header which remembers when a message was first seen by MailMate in its current IMAP mailbox. I'll give that some thought.</p>
