Agreed, should be accessible/tie in via the label menu under actions (i.e. "Delete after X days") for things such as newsletters etc.

+1, I imported all my gmail and seen noticeable slow down in the mail.

I am hoping either 1. delete all emails older than x days or 2. put those emails in some kind of cold storage and don't load them unless in some specific situation I needed it.

Thank you

I want the ability to mark/assign an email for deletion after x-time to reduce the amount of time I spend auditing my inbox. If PM is to be my main inbox, then I need tools to manage fire hose of emails received. My preference would be to assign a retention by email and/or sender.

As a use-case, when I purchase an item, I want to keep the receipt for a year but I am happy to delete the promotional/sale emails after 30 days. Some companies use the same sender email for both the receipt and promo emails -- some don't.

Having the ability to setup a filter by sender and assign a retention date/expiration would be very helpful in managing the inbox.

This is the primary feature I'm waiting for to migrate away from Fastmail. I have several filters and folders I use to track things like newsletters, receipts, etc. and I have all of those set up to auto-delete after 365 days.

I would like Proton to add options to auto-delete any folder after 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 2 years.

Having an Auto-Delete toggle on a folder-by-folder basis would be valuable.

It is critical for the emails that I send to trash to be permanently deleted for a time frame that I specify, such as 30 days. My storage space is filling up and I am ready to get rid of protonmail.

I really need this feature without going into complex custom seives. Is this fuction on the books?

Ability to filter from certain senders to auto delete or send to trash folder after a predetermined time.

I have a script running on my Gmail that keeps it nice and clean, I really need that functionality with Proton! Besides simply 'delete after x days' I can choose to archive, move to a specific folder, add label, etc based on age, read/unread, starred, etc.

I strongly support this idea! Plus: I would like to set a maximum life for emails in a certain folder (for example the trash folder), so that I don't have to bother every day, emptying my trash.

PLEASE!! Would be great if could be set for either all emails in a folder &/or for specific senders.

fast any easy to delete email from a folder (imbox, all files, spam, trash, specific)
or Rull to delete in x days

I DEFINITELY WANT THIS FEATURE! I like getting newsletters and updates but don't always have time to read them. So I filter them to folders, but then I only want to keep the L90 days worth. Currently I have to manually delete old emails. It'd be nice to have the option in a filter to delete after 30, 60, 90 days. PLEASE ADD THIS!

Yes!

The sieve filters can mark something for deletion (I do that with social media and news emails) but once tagged it is irrevocable. It would be nice to either be able to set a delete policy on a folder or allow a scheduled deletion I created to be removed.

This would be extremely useful to have for compliance-related reasons.

Giving this one a +3. GMail does this by default, it would be nice to have this option in Proton.

Would like to be able to have a setting on folders that automatically send emails to trash after X number of days. For newsletters or other emails, I don't need to keep after say 30 days but don't want to have to delete manually every day.

It would be Nice, Tutanota Auto Deletes e-mail around every few months, they say every month but that is a lie a caught them, and they explained it to me and I was still happy about that feature, I wished Proton would do some thing Similar.

I've seen similar requests to apply filters to existing emails, but the difference is that this feature would enable an automatic filter.

Currently when we create a filter, we can combine multiple search criteria such as "from address" or "subject contains." I am suggesting that "age" be added as a new criteria, so it applies to emails that were received over a certain number of days ago. This of course means that filters would have to apply to existing emails, not just incoming ones.

So ideally, this would create a "live" filter that would automatically be watching existing emails and performing actions. For example, we could create a filter that would automatically delete any email that has a subject containing "alert" and that is over 7 days old. Or it could be used to automatically delete trashed emails over 30 days old, like Gmail does now.

Thank you, Proton Team!!
