Hi Neal,

There are a couple features of SmarterMail that could apply here.  Leveraging the Folder Auto-clean Feature would have the results on your deleted item folder you're looking for.  When configuring auto-clean you can select the size of the folder you'd like to maintain, or a period of mail you'd like to retain. Any emails in the folder that are outside of those parameters are removed.  For example emails older than X amount of days.  When you have a moment, take a look at the Knowledge Base article Configure the Folder Auto-clean Feature.

If you are running the Enterprise edition you can setup archiving. Once enabled for a domain by the system administrator all emails that reach the spool are archived.  This is often used within industries that have record keeping retention guidelines that they must follow. If you're interested in adding archiving to your domain you would first Enable Message Archiving.  For future reference, once you've established the archive this article will guide you in Using Message Archive Search.

I hope this helps!

Thanks but I'm looking for more of a rule against a folder that can move items of a specific age i.e. older than X days to Y folder. I may want to create a folder named Deleted Message Archive and then apply a rule on the Deleted Messages folder that moves items 14 days or older to the selected archive folder. I don't want items at the time of spooling to be moved. I want this capability based on age of messages.
