Data retention policy per Folder
Allow specifying Data Retention Policy per Folder, such as:
1 Month delete, 3 Months delete, 6 Months delete, 1 Year delete, 3 Years delete, Keep indefinitely, Custom (N days/weeks/months/years)
Allow overriding the retention policy per message; for example, usually messages in a folder may have, say, 6 Months delete policy, but mark an individual message to Keep indefinitely.
These should be available for all Folders, including but not limited to Trash and Spam.
Default all folders to Keep indefinitely, unless otherwise specified by the user.

If not on a drop down/right click, then should be settable by label. Must be able to apply in bulk, not 1 email at a time.

As an archiviste, the lack of retention policy is a major problem.
Please consider that this is a non optional step to satisfy compliancy. -

A data retention policy would help a lot to be GDPR compliant (Right to be forgotten, Art. 17). I would love to have the same options as in Outlook/MS Exchange.

Retention policies based on tags would be great.

The ability to have emails automatically deleted after a certain time is absolutely essential for business, especially with the limited space available.
Ideally each folder would have it's own retention policy like Outlook, and emails would be automatically deleted/trashed after a given time e.g. 48hrs.

Yes, to be a part of the rules you can set on messages. Message = newsletter? Retain for 60 days then trash. Message = meeting response? Retain for a week. Etc.

Would be nice to have retention policy to be applied on single mails, tags and folders.
Like remove this message in 14 days, clean mails in this folder after 28 days. -

Mail retention policy according to priority would be a good thing to have, delete old and useless mails which haven't even been opened.
