The workaround is to make a smart mailbox with the date condition
such that the message does arrive in a mailbox when it matches the
date condition. The rule in this mailbox should then only have the
“Move to Mailbox” action (without any conditions). A side-effect
is that this smart mailbox is always empty.
I’m afraid I’m not getting it… I need another Smart Mailbox that
is based on the real destination mailbox and triggers the delete
action?
You have a mailbox A with some messages. You want to delete them
automatically after 10 days. Then you need a smart mailbox based on A
like this:
Mailboxes: A
Conditions: Date not within last 10 days
Rule with an action only: “Move to Deleted Messages”
This mailbox is empty as long as no messages in A are older than 10
days. When a message reach 10 days of age then it is added to the smart
mailbox. This triggers the rule which moves the message to Deleted
Messages. This is why the mailbox is always empty. Its only purpose is
to trigger the action.
Was that better?
