[Evolution] Deleting Old Email

[Barbara Tobias <barbtobias09 gmail com>]

Is there an easy way to get rid of old email?  I use my email folders
extensively as a substitute for a file cabinet, but don't need to keep
things more than five or six months.  I know that I can sort by date,
select everything older than what I want to keep, delete them, and then
expunge.  I'm just hoping there might be an easier way.

I'm using Evolution 2.26.1 under Ubuntu Linux 9.04.

Thanks.
