Something like this could work: folder-hook spam 'push <delete-pattern>~d>2m<enter>' or even more advanced: folder-hook foobar 'push <untag-pattern>~A<enter><tag-pattern>!~D!~F~r>2m\ <enter><tag-prefix-cond><save-message><kill-line>\ =INBOX.archive.foobar<enter><untag-pattern>~A<enter>' I used to have a folder hook like this one in my config file, but it slowed down changing into that folder a lot. And the drawback is, that it will only be triggered when you enter that folder. There are probably better tools to achieve this. archivemail is one of it. regards, Christian -- SIGIRO -- too much irony (core dumped)
