is rumored to have said:
By "virtual folder" I'm assuming you mean "smart mailbox"? Does this
trigger automatically as soon as a message becomes "eligible" for that
mailbox (i.e. as soon as it passes that condition and shows up there
for the first time)?
Yes.

TL;DR - I'd like to be able to fire off the mail rules for a given
folder once per day.
Longer explanation:
I have a server that sends me status emails. A lot of status emails.
And I need to receive these status emails not because I want to read
every single one, but because if something goes sideways I need to
be able to poke through the messages for clues / hints.
I don't need to keep these messages longer than a couple of weeks -
30 days max.
And I have other situations where I'll get 3 or 4 messages for the
same thing. Amazon order placed, Amazon order shipped, Amazon order
delayed, Amazon order delivered being a good example. I only need to
keep the last one.
So I have some existing rules that I can fire off manually which
will look for stuff with certain subject lines / senders that's
older than 30 days or so, and clean those up - but I still have to
run them manually.
I'm more than happy to use cron, launchd, or some sort of system
automation to tell MailMate to do this if that's what's required. Or
if there's a way in the software itself, that would be wonderful as
well.
Any thoughts?
Yes. Based on something Bill Cole mentioned a while back I set up a
virtual folder to collect such messages with a condition "date
received is not within last" 30 days and a rule to delete the mails
permanently.
This needs better documentation but shows the power and flexibility
of MailMate's approach.
