There must be something I'm not understanding about the new interface. I've followed these steps, but can't complete a new rule:

- I right-click the Deleted Messages folder, and then click Edit Rules...

- In the resulting window, the rightmost icon at the top of the window is displayed. I click the + icon at the bottom of the rules list to create a new rule.

- I name the new rule.

- I click the + button next to "No conditions added" in the Conditions section, but nothing happens. I can't take any further action.

When I click the second icon at the top of the window, "Conditions for messages displayed," I can create the condition I want, so the creation of conditions isn't disabled in every case. However, I don't want to merely limit the displayed items, I want to permanently delete older items, per Henry's (incomplete) directions below.

Can anyone tell me why I'm stalled out after the third step above? I'm running MailMate 6063.

I want to set up a behavior pattern in MM to delete messages older than a month or two weeks from either the Junk and Deleted messages folders.

You can do this by adding an action to an appropriate rule:

* Condition: is not within last 1 months
* Action: delete

Credit must go to Bill Cole for pointing this powerful but probably underdocumented and, therefore, underappreciated feature.

PS I did include a screenshot but this made the mail too big for the list.
