This is a neat trick. I’m giving it a try to help me keep my inbox as empty as possible. However, I use IMAP & Wanderlust. Attached is a quick Ruby script that should provide similar functionality for any IMAP system, and some cron entries to call it, for anybody who wants it. This works for me, but I have commented out the lines in the script which actually delete mail from one mailbox; I don’t want to be responsible for losing mail. The mailboxes used by the cron entries are (a little different from yours): pending/tomorrow pending/tonight pending/nextweek pending/d01 .. pending/day31 pending/january .. pending/december pending/monday .. pending/sunday today Hope this helps somebody. best, Erik Hetzner
