This is exactly what I want to achieve but in a message level, not
folder level i.e. I don't want to delete *all messages* in a folder
after certain # of days. OTOH, I don't want to keep these 'other
messages' forever either so parking them is out of the question. So,
Allie's suggestion of manual filter is perfect for me. However, if TB!
had an option to invoke a filter upon start/exit, it would have been
excellent :)))

As to why I need this, I collect lot of news in a folder and would
like to delete 'Breaking News' after couple of days of their arrival
while preserve others for a month or so. I could, of course, create a
separate folder for 'Breaking News', but there are so many of them
folders with me and I was just looking for the possibility of one less
folder. I was hoping that if this function could be automated, I could
cut down on numbers of other folders whose sole purpose is just that:
to delete messages after 'n' number of days.
