I found that, but the "Age In Days" option is only available for
local folders. It doesn't even show up in the filters dialog on the
non-local folders, (on the company exchange server accessed via imap) I've thought about moving all emails to my local machine as soon as
they arrive, maybe even going to POP, but I would like to keep emails
on the server for some period of time as they are easily accessed when
traveling. What I would ideally like, is to leave the emails on the
company server, for 6 weeks and then have them automatically moved to
my local machine. This becomes critical because company policy it to
delete all emails from the server after 90 days.
The only method I have found so far with Thunderbird is to manually
create a filter to move all emails before a given date (this is an
absolute date, not relative, ie Feb 2, 2005 not 28 days ago), run the
filter, and then delete it. Because I sort my email into multiple
folders as it arrives, I would have to repeat this process for each of
the 6 or so folders.
As horrible as outlook is, this one task is trivially easy to setup
and seems to work wonderfully with it.

Did you come up with a solution for this?
