Thank you - just what I needed.

I like to keep most of my E mails in the inbox for about 12 months and
then archive and keep indefinitely. This works well for most of my E mail
accounts. The facility to search old E mails easily is particularly
useful in relation to my activity as a Councillor. However I have joined
our local recycling group and am finding myself overwhelmed by the volume
of E mails arising from this subscription. I only use the subscription
occasionally but on those occasions it is useful to shift surplus items
and I would therefore prefer not to unsubscribe. I have eased my problems
by setting up a subfolder labelled freecycle and using the rules wizard
to sort recycling E mails into it but even so this folder grows rapidly
with E mails which do not require keeping and have to be manually
deleted. Is there anyway of automatically flushing the recycling folder
of E mails that are (say) 5 days or more old whilst continuing my
practice of retaining the remainder of my E mails which are not in the
folder indefinitely?

You can use the Autoarchive function to permanently delete at whatever
time-scale you choose. (Right-click on the folder, choose Properties and
then Autoarchive tab)
