Is there a way to purge messages (already placed in subfolders by message filter on arrival) by age?

I have email filters that I run on receipt that partition my messages to sub-folders. Is there a way to process those sub-folders, to highlight or purge messages when they reach a certain age?

The 'Retention Policy' can be set to use the account settings or use a specified for that folder.

To set for specific folder: Right click on the folder and select 'Properties'. click on the 'Retention policy' tab By default it will be set as 'Use my account settings'. Uncheck that setting and the other previously greyed out settings become available.

Make a choice on prefered delete option. Make sure the option: 'always keep starred messages' is selected. Then, if there are any emails in that folder which you do not want to auto delete, you can set a star for those messages in the list to exclude them from the auto delete.

Note if you delete messages using this method it will also delete off the server.

When all selection are made, click on OK.

Thank you - that is a usable mechanism.
