Good advice, Rick, but why do you think "Date" is the same as "received date" in this context? I rather weigh over to Date meaning the "sent date" as this makes more sense to me. I did a new test to verify this, First I made a "test folder" then a new filter: Folder is "test folder" Date is older than x days Execute if all conditions are met ->>>Display alert <sender name><subject> The alert is to identify the affected message. My test messages has "date sent" 2007-12-15 and "date saved" as 2007-12-23. I'm not sure why it's called "received date" in the PowerMail search dialog, but I have no reason to think this is not the same. Today, 2008-01-25, the "date saved" is 33 days ago and date sent is 41 days ago, no? So with my test message in my test folder I find that with 35 days the filter action is executed and with 41 days it is executed. So far so good. Conclusion, it's not the "date saved" that "date is older than" is regarding. Final test with value 42 days gives a non executing action which leads to to the conclusion again that it's the "date sent" that "date is older than" is regarding. I really think it should say "date sent is older than", but there you go. All of this is of course a separate issue to the problem with non- manually feeding a filter a group of messages. If some more people could repeat the test with their messages, this would be very nice. Mikael Technoids: PM 5.6.1 build 4499 sv / SpamSieve 2.6.6 sv | OS X 10.4.8 | Powerbook G4/400 | 1GB / 80GB
