From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thunderbird Addon for deleting mails containing old dates? (feddit.de)

submitted 9 months ago by Pantherina@feddit.de to c/linux@lemmy.ml

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I am again deleting old mails. And I have inboxes with like 200 of them, it is hell.

I would like to autodelete mails that contain a date. If there are multiple dates, take the latest one. If that date is older than x days from today, delete the mail.

Is there something like that? Or some regex possible in native filters?

Are you looking to clean up your client inbox, or the server inbox?

If your client inbox, you don't need a plugin, on the account settings synchronization & storage, on the section disk space, select the synchronize the most recent and specify the amount days, months, years, whatever.

If you want to remove too old messages from the server, perhaps the server itself offers a way to do so...

I want to delete my mails? I use IMAP so this is the same and I will always delete all my old mails from everywhere.

I dont think servers have more of those features than Thunderbird.
