Right.
I do something like this with mailing list mail. I have a smart mailbox
that contains all of the messages that are over 35 days old from the
many mailing lists I'm on which have public archives. I have a rule for
that mailbox which deletes any message which does not have my domain in
a Message-ID, References, or In-Reply-To header. This means that I keep
conversations that I have engaged in on mailing lists but discard
everything else automatically.
(I am still trying to get back to the same comfort level I had with
PowerMail, knowing where to find everything)
I feel your pain...
I used Eudora for over a decade and for a few after that used
Thunderbird with a collection of extensions intended to make it more
like Eudora. I'm only mostly adapted to MM after ~7 years.
