Rules are automatically applied to messages only when they first appear 
in a mailbox. To get "Apply rules" to activate you must have one or more 
messages selected.

To make a rule fire after it is 3 days old, you *might* be able to 
create a smart mailbox that contains messages in the source mailbox that 
are 3 days old, and give that mailbox a rule that marks every message as 
read.
