Sorry for the second post, but there looks like an even better solution on the second page of the search results: ---Begin Copied Message--- This is just another addition to the other solutions :-) Perhaps using "folder-hooks" would also be an appropriate solution for you. In my case it is the perfect way. I use the following: folder-hook =trash 'push T~r>2w!~F\n\;<delete>\x' This one deletes all mails older than 2 weeks when entering the trash-folder. Or: folder-hook =lists/mutt 'push T~r>2w!~F\n\;s=lists/mutt_backup\n\x' This one saves 2week old mails from mutt-users to mutt_backup. ---End Copied Message--- HTH -- __ _ Mark Wagnon ( Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA ) /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
