Configuring outlook 2007
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?
