It would be nice to be able to attach filters to specific folder(s).  For
example: I want to age filter my Trash folder(s) to delete all messages over 90
days old, but I want to age filter my Sent folder(s) to delete all messages over
180 days old.  Now I must run the filters manually after disabling the one that
does not apply so I do not just 90 day filter everything.  If I could attach a
filter to a folder I could just select the folder and then run filters manually.

Better of course would be the ability to have the filter run at a set time (bug
