Re: How to Auto-Delete old emails after xx days?
|
Try this: Create a new Smart Mailbox, name it Old (or similar). Create a rule with "Date Received" and "Is before the date" and set the date to, say, Jan 1, 2020. This should pull all your old emails from before 1/1/20 into the Smart folder. Then review the messages in the folder. If it looks like these are all ones you want to delete, just Select All and move to Trash. Then empty the Trash.
You can start with an older date instead of 2020, say 2010 or whenever. Also be aware there may be old messages from folders you want to keep, since Smart Folders work with all your emails, not just specific folders. You can copy the older keeper emails onto your desktop to save them.
