I only know about the first of these.

You could add rules to your inbox to handle the automatic deletion, 
since rules fire when a message first enters a mailbox.

The conditions are rule-like, but specify under what conditions a 
message should be included in the smart mailbox.

Rules proper are more general because they can move messages, delete 
them, etc.
