No, filters can only be applied to new mail. I can think of lots of reasons why filters shouldn't be periodically applied - like when a filter says 'copy' you will end up with a copy of the email every time the filter is automatically run. Also if you filter on content, every single mail will have to be downloaded, which might be a problem for large mailboxes. I know *you* don't do this in your filters, but it has the potential to cause more problems than it solves. There are other options though. You can only show the last 5 days messages in the folder - the messages are still there, but it can declutter the folder. Or you could leave the messages where they are and use a search folder to only show you the messages you want to see (basically the inverse of your filter).
