We now have a very powerful selection of filter actions -- couldn't exactly the same set of conditions and actions been used for time scheduled actions as well? I don't know nada about programming, but a third option (besides "Filter incoming messages" and "Filter outgoing messages") where we can choose "Fridays at 12.00", "Once a month", "Weekdays at 4.00" etc would be absolutely great!!
