Super clear, many thanks for the explanation Kevin, it is really
nice to have developers explaining stuff in the mailing list

$index_format by default uses the %{} expando: %{%b %d}. This uses the
locale setting but you can prefix it with a ! to use C, e.g. %{!%b %d}.
$date_format is used for the %d and %D expandos in $index_format, and
the %D expando in $folder_format.

It's a python3 script that deletes whole threads that meet the criteria: - All messages are markes as read - No messages in the thread are unread - No messages in the thread are flagged (starred) - All messages in the thread are older than N days It's been several years since I've looked at this code (which in my mind is a good thing, since that means it hasn't broken), so definitely give it a read-over to see if it's suitable for your purposes. In my case, I run it directly on the mail server via a systemd service and timer. https://seangreenslade.com/source-code/scripts/list-thread-pruner/listthreadpruner-v0.1.py Happy to answer any questions about the code if anyone is curious or wants to use it. --Sean
