Hi,

I would like to implement a filter like this:

IF (sender = a OR sender = b OR sender = c) AND (message > 5 days) THEN delete

Right now, for each sender, I create a different filter. I would like to group them all under one filter. Is this possible? If so, how? I can't figure it out.

Thanks,

L

Create a filter as in the attached picture. Create an address book that contains the senders you wish to filter.

It solves my immediate problem, but not the general use of a combined AND and OR rule.

Thanks,

It might be possible to achieve combined rules by editing the filter file manually:
