Trying to create a rule to delete emails on server that are older then 360 days.
Hey guys,
So I am trying to create a rule that will delete emails on the server that are 360 days or older.
I know you can go into settings...
>> leave messages on server >>>>>>For at most ,,,,,,,
But from what I have read that only deletes emails on server from when they were downloaded into thunderbird.
I am new to thunderbird so that wont work for me.
So I went into message filter....thinking this would work
>>>>>age in days > is greater than > 360 days >>>>>>>>>>>Delete From Pop Server
But nothing happens???? Help!
Your input is appreciated

POP accounts do not access the server, only the downloaded messages. Are these your concern, or the ones on the server?
I know it doesn't sync like Imap setups due.
But pop accounts has the following option (image attached) to delete on pop servers but isn't working for me.
What I think may be the issue is I am confusing Thunderbird. It would delete the email IF the email existed on the local server. Since it has already been deleted in the local drive it has nothing to initially find and compare to delete on the server.
BTW...I can't use the retention policy because according to what I read online it ALSO deletes the emails on the local server.

I am not sure I am following. Just to clarify, there is the server and there is the PC. There is no 'local' server. That is where I am getting confused. Thanks. :)
So yes...
To Keep it simple....lets just apply the goal to a gmail account.
I would like to somehow automate the ability to delete emails on the host servers as soon as they are year old.
BTW thank you for the help
