The clock for these messages is based on the time it was moved into that folder, NOT the date/time the message was received in the message header. Maybe this is what is confusing you?
So, if you have issue the command to remove messages older than 7 days, that would be 7 days *since they were moved into the folder*.
Charles,
thanks
these are a user+spam spam basket, the actual messages are either in 'new' or 'cur', depending if a particular user logged to 'spam' basket or not
does that mean that say 7 days would clear new messages after 7 days, and, any message that is not 'new' after 7 more days, assuming I run the command daily ?
all I want is an auto way to clear +spam baskets after x days
I'm not sure I understand your question...
Again, the date.saved is the date/tome the message was moved into the folder, and has nothing to do with the date the message was received or the date/time in the message header.
So, as long as the date.saved date/time is not older than the date/time you are searching on, then they will not be deleted.
