233674 - filters based on relative date

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 177294

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:

I'd really like to see an easy way to build advanced custom mail
filters like
"If a message has been in the 'junk' folder for more than a week ->
delete it"
Or that would remind me once a day to reply to msg in my unreplied
folder...

in general messages based on on the relative date (as opposed to the
absolute date "two days ago" or "one day since the last time" vs.
"12/4/2003" ) vould be very useful in my opinion.

Thunderbird is a great software and I love it, thanks to all the
people that are working on it.
Bye,

Michele

Rule of "Age in Days"(= Today - ReceivedDate) "is/less than/greater than" N day
is already implemented although weeks/months/years/centuries etc. based
conditions are  not implemented yet.

Running on Mac OSX build 20040412, and I don't see the 'Age in Days' item in the
headers dropdown.

[Per Reedtz Thomsen]

I hacked the msgFilterRules.dat file, and the rule works, but as I said there is
no UI for it at present. At least not in TB 20040412.

Reporters (Michele, Per Reedtz Thompson): the Age in Days filter is not 
implemented for IMAP, only for POP mail -- bug 177294.
Which account type are you using?

Comment 5

[Per Reedtz Thomsen]

I use IMAP. Bug 177294 describes what I'm seeing.
