[Evolution] çå: [Evolution] Auto-expiring folders

[çé <gan_lu cqpepsi com cn>]

Yes, it could do the trick, but anyway why can't we do it in more elegant/easy way like
->right click certain folder
->select "auto-expiring"  from contexted menu
->setup XX days in dialog
since it's really a useful function. Should I address a feature request?
