[MlMt] Delete messages completely in the Deleted Messages Folder older than a month?

Randall,

Yes. This would reduce the number of rule from one per account to 1 per 
duration (about half the number of rules, since I use a one day duration 
and a two week duration on Junk and a two week and 4 week duration on 
Deleted Messages rules.

Are the Rules name referring to the MailMate names or the actual name of 
the IMAP folders? For instance Mailbox refers to Deleted Messages as 
either an IMAP name of Deleted or Deleted Messages server names.

I take it the rules work immediately at the time the rule determines a 
match?

As to conditions,  selecting the mailboxes involved in a time period as 
being in each specific Account’s IMAP folders (E.G. Junk) to set the 
“Expunge Junk 2 DAY” Rule?

On the Rule setting for a date of receipt  for example @14 Days after 
receipt (date is later than…) where do you set the number of days or 
weeks or months? I don’t see number field.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
