So in /Users/robertwall/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Mailboxes.plist, I would find my rule, and change the line in my rule (this is Mailmate's "message is received last week" default rule) that says:

filter = "(#date-received >[f] 2 weeks ago and #date-received <[f] 1 weeks ago)";

to something more like

  filter = "(#date-received <[f] 7 days ago)";

?

It feels like those > and < symbols are backwards. > 2 weeks ago and < 1 weeks ago doesn't feel like it should match anything - can anybody help me wrap my head around that syntax? :D Or is "filter" describing the messages to *keep*?

Happy to write rules manually if necessary, as long as I have some confidence I'm doing it correctly!

Working on a few rules. I see that I can do "received", and I can use descriptors like "last week", "last month", etc. What I *want* is something like "anything older than x days". I realize that if I do it manually once, in the future it should stay caught up as the mail checks automatically - but I have a bunch of old messages it would be nice to be able to sweep up programatically.

Is there a way to do this that I'm just not seeing?

I seem to remember that not all options are available in the new views so you might have edit the rules plist manually.
