Just to report back:
I have been using the new feature, that is I converted the thresholds
from weeks and months to days and activated the once per day condition,
for almost a week. It works fine and does exactly what I wanted. The
volume of mails to check is, however, as I was afraid, a bit
If that is correct, that would be too seldom. I delete like 200 to
500 emails a day, so the deletion queue would accumulate quite a bit
over the month, way beyond what I can inspect optically
(occasionally, I archive some mails after all).

Think of a smart mailbox as a continually executed search. You can

Perhaps this is true at some technical level, but in terms of what the
user can do and see, it's not. For sorting and accessibility purposes, I
have a number of smart mailboxes that only point

i created a smart mailbox which referes to all the mailboxes where i
