<p dir="auto">There must be something I'm not understanding about the new interface. I've followed these steps, but can't complete a new rule:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto">I right-click the Deleted Messages folder, and then click Edit Rules...</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">In the resulting window, the rightmost icon at the top of the window is displayed. I click the + icon at the bottom of the rules list to create a new rule.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">I name the new rule.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">I click the + button next to "No conditions added" in the Conditions section, but nothing happens. I can't take any further action.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">When I click the second icon at the top of the window, "Conditions for messages displayed," I can create the condition I want, so the creation of conditions isn't disabled in every case. However, I don't want to merely limit the displayed items, I want to permanently delete older items, per Henry's (incomplete) directions below.</p>
<p dir="auto">Can anyone tell me why I'm stalled out after the third step above? I'm running MailMate 6063.</p>

<p dir="auto">You can do this by adding an action to an appropriate rule:</p>
<ul>
<li>Condition: is not within last 1 months</li>
<li>Action: delete</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Credit must go to Bill Cole for pointing this powerful but probably underdocumented and, therefore, underappreciated feature.</p>
