In my case:
1. Smart Mailbox, “Auto-ex Junk A”: Select 3 accounts, Junk 
Folder(s), Condition = Date more than 2 DAYS,  Actions: expunge 
(Delete).
2. Smart Mailbox, “Auto-exJunk B”: Selects 6 accounts, Junk Folders, 
Condition = Date > 30 DAYS. Action: expunge (Delete).
3. Smart Mailbox, “Auto-ex Deleted A”: Selects 3 accounts, Deleted 
Folder(s), Conditions = Date > 2 DAYS, Action: Expunge (Delete).
4. Smart Mailbox. Auto-expunge Deleted B”: Selects 6 accounts, Deleted 
Messages. Conditions: = Date > 30days. Actions: expunge (Delete).

I will first select the parameters in eachSmart Mailbox, then if it’s 
looking good, go in and perform the actions so it filters from then on 
at the Server machine.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
