Winti, I use a vfolder to find all mails that have a Sent-date older than a month, have a label called "mailinglist" and don't have a label called "scorehigh". Incoming mail was filtered and labeled before, of course. So, from time to time I go to this vfolder and expunge all mails with Ctrl-E. I use the svn trunk version (2.26.1 right now) of evolution and there is a little caveat, however. The contents of the vfolder are not updated automatically. So, I have to right click the folder, go to properties, modify e.g. the Sent-Date, close and reopen the dialog and reset it to the desired Sent-Date and the vfolder gets updated. Works nicely for me.
