Add something like this to your .muttrc: folder-hook =debian-.*$ 'push T~r>1m!~F\n\;' # 1 month Whenever you enter a folder named =debian-* it tags messages older than 1 month. You can then delete them at your leisure. One thing to keep in mind about mutt: Mutt is so configurable that there is probably a way to do some every strange and twisted thing you can think of, you just have to think of how to do it. Personally, I just have a cron job that automatically archives certain mailboxes every month (similar to logrotate). Peter -- Peter D.
