How to set time based rules in Outlook



My employer sends out lots of internal marketing and "aren't we great" emails that I don't read. I currently have a rule which moves the emails sent by the worst offenders to a CompanyName Spam folder in Outlook 2010.


Is there a way to have the emails delete after a period of time, lets say 30 days, without me having to do this manually? Ideally, I'd like a single rule to say: IF it's from joe.bloggs@CompanyName.com MOVE to CompanyName Spam AND after 30 days, move to deleted items folder.


I can make a rule to find emails within a particular absolute date range, but not a rolling relative date range (such as today - 30).


To make this even more complicated, if this could be done without VBA, that would be greatly appreciated (as I'm slow at using VBA and encoding)


Thanks,



Answer



If you right click on your 'spam' folder and select Properties, then go to AutoArchive, you should be able to archive emails older than n-days, then select to delete the emails instead of archiving them.
