Hi,

I know usually it is not desired to delete emails from user accounts.

But in my system environment is an option, which would be usefull.

My question is: is it possible at all to configure mercury in such a way , that

emails from a specific account would be deleted after three months automatically ?

Thanks for any suggestions.

There is no function in Mercury to delete messages after a certain time. You could however write a small program to examine the creation date of all .CNM files in a mailbox directory and delete those that are older than a specified age. IMAP accounts with sub-folders are trickier though, that would require a lot more effort.
