The next update of MailMate is going to have “Delete” and “Delete 
Permanently” rule actions available. This means that one could create 
a smart mailbox matching emails older than x days (use “Date-Received 
is less than X days”). This smart mailbox can then have a rule which 
permanently deletes anything which matches the condition. Note that this 
only works if MailMate is always an open application, but this is a 
general issue with date-based rules. The “Delete” action simply 
moves an email to the assigned mailbox for trash in the related account 
(this is/was also possible using the “Move Message” action so it's 
kind of redundant).
