Message filtering - can we filter by date?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Wondering if one can set up a filter to trash email with a date that isn't current? I receive occasional spam dated like year 2025 or 1992 or a different month, etc. Thanks, David - -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] Written Wednesday, February 05, 2003 at 6:39:31 PM A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs--jolted by every pebble in the road. -Henry Ward Beecher -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBPkGhYzT1rmWPi6SCEQKZZwCgjn8TE/Q9AqrS6So3DUKZmv/BRBwAn1Gz vmsTa3vLqtyN49LaoNUA8UBf =KRaE -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
filter by date?
Hello I would like to set up a filter which would move the older mail from certain folders (but not Inbox or Outbox)to the TRASH folder. 1./ Is it possible to set up a filter which would check the current date and move everything older than say 10 days? 2./ I assume the above will not move the parked files. How about the FLAGGED files? Is there a way to leave them also back in the original folder? Thank you for your reply in advance -- Best regards, Peter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! v1.53 under Windows 98 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
Re: filter by date?
Peter, Every folder have It's own setup for keeping messages. Go to the folder properties and on the bottom you'll see a box with Keep messages in the base for (days). Setup the days and that's it. AFAIR - If you set it to delete the messages after 10 days, It'll actually will move 11 days old messages but I'm not sure about it.

Parked messages are kept. Older messages are deleted. Okay, that doesn't move them to trash. Filters are only executed at point of delivery/transmission. Any other filters would have to be executed manually. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.

Hi Peter, On Thursday, February 7, 2002 at 13:54:08 [GMT -0500], you wrote: PK I would like to set up a filter which would move the older mail PK from certain folders (but not Inbox or Outbox)to the TRASH folder. That's not possible with an automatic filter, you'd have to refilter manually every time you wanted TB! to move old messages. But there's a solution for that problem: Have a look at the properties of the folders for which you want this feature. Check Keep messages in base for (days) and adjust the setting. Then check On exit - Remove old messages. You might also want to compress that folder on exit or you can do this manually. PK 2./ I assume the above will not move the parked files. How about PK the FLAGGED files? Is there a way to leave them also back in the PK original folder? This way, flagged messages will be deleted, parked ones will not. That's the reason behind the parking flag. -- Regards, Lars The Bat! 1.54 Beta/36 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 |Lars Geiger | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]| -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Older messages are deleted. Okay, that doesn't move them to trash. No, luckily it kills them instantly. Why should anyone use a trash bin (another directory, concerning the Windows Recycle bin) to *hold* messages? they should be deleted. Oh, to answer the other question (2.): Flagged messages have to be parked to not being deleted. So a (manual) filter has to be created with the action to park a flagged message. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/37 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C The two shortest books in the world?
