![]() I setup a Smart Mailbox that automatically shows me any email that’s older than a year (older than 365 days). Nonetheless, I like Mail and I think I figured out a way to at least partially solve this problem.Īlthough Mail won’t automatically delete the old mail that I want to delete, the least it can do is identify it for me so that I can drag it to the trash. For example, I’d like to hold on to Sent mail for 90 days instead of 30. ![]() The most Mail will do is allow you to automatically delete Sent Mail, Junk Mail or Mail in the Trash after one week or one month and even those options aren’t broad enough. I even looked at setting up Automator to do it and there is no Delete Mail option. The problem is Apple (in an overly protective manner) doesn’t allow you to automate this. I’d rather delete email that is in my Inbox that’s older than one year. The option was to delete emails or archive them. Just the other day I got an automated message from my work IT email system warning me that I was approaching the 2GB limit (OMG!) of email on the server. ![]() For example, in my email world if an email is not filed in a specific folder for safe keeping AND it’s older than a year, there’s a very slim chance that I need that email. That feature was that I could set up rules to delete mail from specific mailboxes (folders) based on how old they were. Although I’ve been an Apple Mail user for a few years now (since they got native MS Exchange support), there is one feature that I miss from MS Entourage.
