What I'd really like to have is this: In KDE's KMail (which I used a long time ago, before I switched to Evolution), you can set messages in your mail folders to auto-expire. That is especially useful for folders holding mailing lists: Just define that for your mailing-list folder, messages older than a month should automatically be deleted whenever you "purge" your mail folder. Now either manually purge the folder, or set the program up so that it automatically does this every time it is closed, and there you go: All messages that are older than the age you specified automatically get deleted (ideally, there would be an option on a message-by-message basis to exclude important or otherwise interesting messages from being automatically removed, but I can't remember if KMail has a feature like that). I haven't found any "native" support for a feature like this in Evolution - I can only imagine that it might be possible to do this using normal mail-filters (on the other hand, these can not be applied to whole folders natively, but only to (an) individual message(s), right?)
hi nils, well, you could set up a "date received | is before | a time relative to the current time" incoming filter and apply it manually, but be aware if you have enabled automatically applying of filters to incoming mails, that mails sent by people with very wrong dates on their windows machines (hehe ;-) will also directly go into trash. setting up filters that *only* apply manually is not supported yet <http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22179>. :-/ cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de -- One of the questions that comes up all the time is: How enthusiastic is our support for UNIX? Unix was written on our machines and for our machines many years ago. Today, much of UNIX being done is done on our machines. Ten percent of our VAXs are going for UNIX use. UNIX is a simple language, easy to understand, easy to get started with. It's great for students, great for somewhat casual users, and it's great for interchanging programs between different machines. And so, because of its popularity in these markets, we support it. We have good UNIX on VAX and good UNIX on PDP-11s. It is our belief, however, that serious professional users will run out of things they can do with UNIX. They'll want a real system and will end up doing VMS when they get to be serious about programming. With UNIX, if you're looking for something, you can easily and quickly check that small manual and find out that it's not there. With VMS, no matter what you look for -- it's literally a five-foot shelf of documentation -- if you look long enough it's there. That's the difference -- the beauty of UNIX is it's simple; and the beauty of VMS is that it's all there. -- Ken Olsen, President of DEC, 1984
