Hi All,

Is it possible to setup a KMail filter that will:

• Only operates in one specific folder (and never in any other)
• that removes all messages older than one month?

I get a ton of server messages, 50+K per month, that are only useful for a specific number of days. I know how to filter these info only ones into a single folder, but the deleting I’m not too sure of. (and don't want to have to restore my mail system a dozen times in testing...)

Thanks, Michael

Hi Michael,

I would not use a filter. More simply:

- Right-click on the folder you want to do this on. There is a menu entry "Expire..."

There you can set whenyou want to expire your messages (read or not) and what to do with them.

On the tab where you confgure the filters there you find a button on the left just over "Help", "Source folder " or so (freely translated from german). click it and you can define a list of folders where the filter is applied to.
