I get a large number of e-mails on my e-mail address.
Many of these are announcing events that will happen in a week or so, so I do
not delete them.

In a week, they are lost behind many other e-mails, never seen, and not deleted
until I go through my whole inbox again, even though they are long expired.


Proposed solution: 
Allow for e-mails to have ``expiration dates'' attached. When an e-mail is about
to expire, its priority goes up. A little after it expires, it is deleted
automatically.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3.
this is already implemented for pOP accounts.
