I did a quick test with a selection of 7 messages and this filter: Folder is [MyFolder] Date is older than [20] days Move messages to [Trash] This is my filter: Folder is [Spam] (resepectively [Trash] in the other filter) Date is older than [60] days Execute Apple Script [Delete Message Immediately] and it worked nicely with manual trigger on the _selection_ of messages.

Re: Deleting filter doesn't work
Rene Merz: When it did-it well, then not during the startprocess of PM but with after starting the mailserver connection procedure. I think what you want is a script that is regularly initiated by Cron (set by the app Cronnix for example) or similar and that checks the content of specific folders, one at a time, and set the folder contents as the selection for processing. The filters are mainly there for incoming messages, that by nature are new not old and for manual selection and processing. It's also possible that a script could startup a filter for processing, but I have had difficulties myself giving the filter a set of messages as a selection. So I'd rather do it in the script alone. Anyone know a way on how to feed a filter a set of messages as a selection at will? Mikael Technoids: PM 5.6.1 build 4499 sv / SpamSieve 2.6.5 sv | OS X 10.4.8 | Powerbook G4/400 | 1GB / 80GB

The filters are mainly there for incoming messages, Not all of this filters. Because it would not make any sense to have filter-tools which can do an action (put to trash folder f.i.) after an amount of days. Incoming messages do not have any amount of days - they are all of one day only. that by nature are new not old and for manual selection and processing.
