it'll still download them before deleting because it won't check them as it
downloads from the server... Which makes a view that hides these messages
just as useful as a rule with a script, although I don't have a sample
script for deleting aged mail. If you do use a rule, make sure outlook
isn't set to delete messages when they are deleted from outlook or you'll
lose all mail from the server.

Hi

Here's what I would like to do, but I did not see an obvious way of
doing it in Outlook. I sometimes use a laptop to check on mail when on
the road. Unfortunately the thing downloads all messages since it last
looked into the account which may be weeks. Lot of email.

What I would like if for Outlook to immediately delete any messages
downloaded into my inbox that were sent 1 day ago. Read or not Any
ideas on how to do this?
