Rules are not “dynamic” in the sense that for this rule to work then 
the message should arrive in the mailbox already being more than 30 days 
old. This might be optional at some point, but for now you can create a 
smart mailbox based on the INBOX which matches these 30 day old 
messages. Add a single rule to this smart mailbox which only has the 
action of moving to Deleted Messages. This works, because as far as 
MailMate is concerned a messages “arrives” in the smart mailbox when 
it's 30 days old. It is, of course, a bit weird that this mailbox is 
always going to be empty.

Alternatively, you can manually use “Mailbox ▸ Apply Rules” on a 
selection of messages.
