Well, including the ability to filter messages using message age
and date as criteria are is also, of course, desirable. Purging a folder
which may contain messages put together through the use of many filters is
a bit different.
Take for example my folder called family. I filter messages from
all family members to this folder. I wish to archive messages from this
folder to another folder. Using the purge facility is a lot easier than
making new filters for moving the messages when they have reached a
certain date.
BTW, the moving of old messages will also go into effect if you
purge according to message number as well as message age.
I therefore see the need for both and not only one.
