Hello et salut,
may I join this discussion?

The described function of "settings, email, filters" does only touch incoming 
mails.

I'd like to have a possibility to create a filter action for mails that are 
already sorted into a subfolder.
For instance, I get every night about 60 notification mails from different 
customers' systems about backup, status, etc..
These mails go by filters into defined subfolders per customer and below that 
even per device - all no problem.
But every let's say three months I want to clean up and delete all the mails in 
these subfolders older than 3 months, since these typically "ok" notifications 
are of no importance any more.

Now, I must go to the subfolder, sort by sender and date, scroll down 3-400 
lines to the last "date of no-importance", click the next 3-500 mails and then 
delete them (which only moves them into the waste bin, where I have to delete 
them a second time ...) - and as this clicking takes more time than the refresh 
interval, I can start from the top of the list again ... and repeat that for 
about 10 subfolders ...
This task would already be easier, if there was within the "search within this 
folder" options a seletion entry "older/newer than <date>".

When still working with Outlook, I had created a rule set, containing the 
definition of such a clean-up rule, and could execute it within any actual 
subfolder ...
But only for this, it's not worth the license price.

I guess it will become more clear with a screenshot:

Yes, I could do what you write on a machine using SOGo 3.2.6. But on
another machine with SOGo 5.0.1 I have less options. The action "File
the message in ..." is missing for example.

How do I get more options in the filter?

I am a sysadmin not a user, this SOGo filter is an example.

With regards,
Paul
