No way to purge unread messages in common folder

2008-02-08 Thread Doug Higby 
Hello,

My Gmail account pulls in messages for the beta list for TheBat!  Message count 
is
over 5,000 and I have it set to keep *only* 300 messages.  The messages are 
sorted
and placed in a common folder:
Lists
  TheBat!
 Beta

The folder settings for Beta are set to Max stored messages = 300, and I even 
tried
max keep messages = 30 days. But nothing will get rid of them if they are 
unread. For
my Gmail account, I have checked the box that says Purge unread messages

Is this a bug?

Unfortunately you can't set 'purge unread messages' for common
folders, it's not in their 'account properties'.
The settings of the original account have no meaning for the common
folder, as the messages aren't associated anymore with that account.

No bug, though you could consider it an oversight.
