Date Filter
We need to filter by date typically to move all email over say 6 months old to the Archive folder.

I only ended up reading about casino review platforms after a long discussion in a UK forum about how hard it is in 2026 to tell which gambling sites are actually reliable. That conversation drifted into comparing sites that rate and analyze casinos instead of just listing them. The review breakdown I followed focused on practical things like usability, payments, and game variety. I clicked https://greekembassy.org.uk/ from a reference inside the content while going through it. From my UK perspective, structured review hubs are clearly becoming more important for decision-making online.

Filter by date is already a thing. But not exposed to users in simplified filter creator for few reasons:
1. Filters run once per email as soon as it is received. Which means when the filter is run automatically, the date will end up being `currentdate`.
2. Adding date to simplified interface would cause confusion, and make it not so simplified.
3. Power users who need such filtering can use sieve editor. Sieve is a programming language, and you can useProton's sieve documentation on date: https://proton.me/support/sieve-advanced-custom-filters#vacation
Official Sieve language documentation for date comparisons: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5260#section-4A site note about the suggested use case: Dumping all the stuff into Archive folder after some time will surely turn Archive into Trash folder without the 30 day expiration. Archive folder is a weird folder, and probably shouldn't even exist.

I'm a heavy filters user. I have quite a few that are specifically for automatically moving low priority emails out of my Inbox and into folders I check less frequently. However, in many cases, it would be nice to give myself a few days to consider before the email in question is swept off to a folder where I may or may not decide to give it any further attention. Having the option to edit these existing filters by setting them to only take action if the email is older than a few days would be a huge improvement!

would be especially useful if we do this with all read emails, and have all unread emails go to a different folder. Adjacent to that would amazing to sort by unread and also by un-replied.

Strongly seconding this. Date filtering is absolutely critical for automated cleanup.

It should allow us to delete based on date or age & folder / filter.

Then use the Export app to export the Archive folder only contents.
