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.
