The problem is that sometimes filters are not applied, so I'm used to
run CTRL+A - CTRL + Y on my Inbox, so I need to explicitly exclude Inbox
from the filter. 

Thanks a lot

Unfortunately I can't find this condition in EVO 3.12.9. Maybe it was
added later?

That sounds like a good workaround! Let's try

As Milan said there is a condition to select a specific folder.

But it's not an issue, unless you don't look at your mail for more than
n days - the filters only apply to new messages, the messages you are
trying to get rid of are not 'new' and the 'new' messages will be less
than n days old.

(Ctrl-Y doesn't trigger a filter run globally across everything.)

I thought Ctrl-Y only applies filters to the current message (that's
why it's in the 'Message' menu not the 'Folder' menu or anywhere else).
You would need to do Ctrl-A, Ctrl-Y to select all messages in the
folder then apply filters.

Hi,
there's a condition named "Message Location", which is there for this
purpose. Only make sure you've set the "Find items which match"
properly (when it's "all of the following conditions" then you cannot
use multiple folders there).

Alternatively create a search folder with the same conditions and
selected folders only, then you can enter it from time to time and
delete messages from there (Ctrl+A followed by Delete key press when in
that folder).
Bye,
Milan

The filter is present, but I don't want to apply it to my inbox, I've to
run it just to some subfolder. Defining this kind of filter will trigger
deletion also in inbox when hitting CTRL + Y. Do you think it's possible
to whitelist/blacklist some folder for filter execution?

That's not a problem, CTRL + Y is a quick way to do it.

Yes, I was searching for that feature because I've seen it in
Thunderbird. I can confirm that's not present in 3.12.9.

Unlikely I can't upgrade it, since it will require to also upgrade Gnome
and Debian.

I don't know about 3.12.9 (because it's old and I don't have a copy),
but in the most recent version there is a filter condition of 'Date
recieved' with 'is before'-'' and you can specify an
action of 'delete'.

The problem with filters is that they only apply to 'new' messages so
you would have to apply the filter manually.

In newer versions under folder properties (right click on folder,
select properties), there is an "AutoArchive" tab which does what you
want, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't exist in 3.12
