An “expire”? You mean automatic deletion after X days?

You have to create a smart mailbox based on one or both of these 
mailboxes. This mailbox should have a condition with something like:

	Date-Received is not within last 180 days

Finally, create a rule which has no conditions, but the action “Delete 
Permanently”.

This workaround is necessary because rules are currently only checked 
when a message “arrives” in the mailbox. In other words, if the rule 
was added directly to “Deleted Messages” then it wouldn't trigger 
unless you added an email to the mailbox which was already more than 180 
days old.

Also note that this doesn't count the days gone by since a message was 
deleted. It counts the days since it was sent/received.

I hope this helps.
