Hey

I have emails that are 15 years old. They are taking a ton of space on my computer.

I want to instead only keep 3yr emails. I changed the sync settings to that but it won't remove old emails that were already downloaded.

How do I do this - have it remove the old emails from my computer but keep them on gmail?

IMAP accounts sync to the server. You cannot do what you want. You could switch to POP and achieve that with some careful settings
