Again,

Many thanks for the prompt reply!

I had a look into the Search folder and it does the trick! However I set
it up with the following options:

Find Items: "If all conditions are met"
Includes threads: None

Conditions: Date received - is after - 15 days ago
Selected folder : the two inboxes from the two accounts

But it only shows emails from the default account and not the other one, I have played with settings without 
success, any suggestion?
