Sorry, didn't explain fully. Yes I can score on to: or cc: but can I for example score according to the number of messages in a mailbox? For boxes that get 5 mails per month - no problem, keep them all. For ones with 150 per day - no problem, clear all older than 3 months. It's the intermediate ones that I have a problem with. Ideally I would like to be able to keep individual mailboxes at a set level. Or is there a better way to do this than scoring.
