It would be nice if there was a way to set an expiration age at a folder and label level. Emails that were older than that expiration in that folder or with that label would automatically be archived or trashed (depending on preference). This would be helpful for emails I want to eventually delete, but want to keep sorted and keep for longer than the expiration of my trash. I won't have to pick between "keep forever" (archive) or "delete in 30 days" (trash). This would also mean I wouldn't have to manage my email as actively because I would be assured I would have an extended time window to reference certain emails, but I would also be assured they would eventually get cleaned up.
For example, I have a "Receipts" folder with an expiration of two years. As time progresses, any email that was received more than 2 years ago would automatically be trashed from that folder. That way I wouldn't have to actively manage my receipts, because I know they would eventually get deleted but I would also have 2 years to reference them if needed.
There is a way to do this with Sieve, but it means I have to use Sieve (too complicated), it would only apply to emails passed through that filter, and would require configuring all filters pointing at a folder/label.
