I had set up a Smart Mailbox to filter the messages from my INBOX into

14 days old… but at some point in the past couple of months, the
rule stopped working. When I tried to edit the rule today, I noticed
that there is no comparison operator. So, e.g., the rule now reads
“Date > Relative” “is” “14 days ago,” when I really want
“if relative date is >= 14 days ago” since the rule clearly
isn’t always getting triggered when a message is moved into the
destination mailbox (by another rule attached to the Smart Mailbox).
I just did something similar and wonder if it would work that way for
you.
I would do it the following way:
- create a smart folder that scans your inbox.
- under 'Conditions' tab, create rules that will further define the
messages to include in the Smart Folder. You would need to include one
that matches messages to the list, as well as one that restricts the
dates. I find the date restrictions are more flexible under the
'Conditions' filtering as opposed to the 'Rules' filtering. What you
effectively do is create conditions that will make the Smart Mailbox
display only those old messages you wish to move.
- under 'Rules', create a rule that moves all messages to where you wish
to store the old list messages.
Now if there was a way to hide particular Mailboxes, then this would be
one to hide since it would be empty all the time.
