Hello,
I'm using KMail 1.4.3. What I do for some folders is right-click on them,
select Properties, then choose "expire messages". There's a few options, you
can choose whether to expire only read or unread messages after x days.
In this context, expiring messages means deleting them. So you can set to
expire messages in sent mail after 60 days as such.
I'm guessing manual filtering is when you apply filters to specific messages
by using Message->Apply Filters (or Ctrl-J).
Hope this helps!

that's faster, more useful, more advanced, and more likely to seg fault :-(.
