Re: remove mail periodically?



I don't know about mutt but the newer versions of xfmail will allow you to
set expire times on mail folders. This is particularly nice if you
subscribe to a lot of lists. The messages get auto-deleted once they reach
a certain age unless moved to another non-expiring folder.
