Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

Currently, I only seem to be able to expunge an entire mail folder at a time. It would be great to have the 
option of expunging selected messages in a folder. For example, I'd like to be able to select all messages 
in a folder older than a month, and expunge those alone, and leave the newer messages around for a little 
bit longer even though they may have been marked as deleted.

Reproducible: Always

I'm sure you'd be able to do this with a saved search. Play around with Edit >
Find > Search Messages. You could save a search as a folder with the options
"Age is greater than 30 days" and then just delete all the messages in that
folder. Then all you'd have to do is delete all the messages in that folder.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
