I already explained that "Date" is not the same as "age since recieved date", but rather more likely "age since sent date". See the difference? My results indicate it's not likely to be "received date" at least. This makes very much sense as a message just arriving doesn't have a received date yet and at least not older than "today".
So the condition ""Date is older than 3 days" for example would do the set action only to messages that was sent more than 3 days ago. Which makes sense to me as being a useful, albeit uncommon perhaps, setting. >This filter-condition doesn't make sense at all! It could say more clearly "sent date", assuming this is the case. But if you forget for a minute about already received messages and think about incoming ones, I think you can find it actually does make sense. I tested this filter functionality and got results. What's the problem? If you repeat my test of this filter condition as described, do you actually get a different result? In addition, as I think I already have mentioned, all the functionality you seek in this filter of yours could very well be achieved with one existing script "Delete Aged Messages v1.2", or if there's a later version. Don't you want to use this or similar scripts for some reason? I haven't used it for a long time, but it got the job done when I needed it. I'm not sure where it is today, but google is your friend.
