Yes, but I'm not sure a filter will fix this, as they usually work on incoming mail, not stored emails. > I've created a vfolder of emails older than 80 days, I want the vfolder > to delete the messages as they come in there.

But there is no way to get the vfolder to do If you delete an email in the virtual folder, that also deletes it from its original folder. A virtual folder doesn't contain any emails, just a "list" of emails that match the vfolder criteria. So if you have already y created a virtual folder which contains only messages recieved more then 80 days ago, you can just do a select all and delete.
