Auto Delete email in an Archive?

Is it possible to set a retention policy on a mailbox archive to auto-delete archived files over a certain age?
We have mailboxes that get extremely large amounts of QA related email (>1 million per 3 months and over 25GB), and I want to use the archive to off load some of the 3 months of email from the main mailboxes. But I still want to delete anything in these
archive mailboxes over 3 months old, as QA no longer needs them.
Is there any way to do this on an archive mailbox?

You can use retention policies to delete items from the archive mailbox. See the answer in this post:

How can I set TB to auto delete emails after a certain period of time?

I have two email accounts set up in TB.. I am using TB 24.5.0, and one of the email accounts is a Gmail account, and the other is a Microsoft Exchange account with a domain I own running through Office 365. I suppose technically TB looks at that account like an IMAP, although it is not an IMAP per se.
In any event, I am coming to TB new from using Outlook 2010 and 2013. I would like to figure out a way to create rules for each of the email accounts that would automatically delete emails from my inbox after they are a certain age. I would also like to determine how I can establish a retention policy for emails I know I want to keep beyond their automatic purge time frame.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

This only works with IMAP accounts.
Tools (Alt-T) - Account Settings<br>
Select your account - Synchronization and Storage
Make sure to move any messages you want to keep to the Local Folders account prior to making changes. Local Folders should be set to keep messages forever.<br>
Note, this is a manual step.

Auto-Deleted Emails?

Certain messages I receive seem to disappear after a time spent in my inbox or even after I transfer them to a folder. Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening? Or is this a glitch in the system?

If webmail is losing emails, odds are there's a client somewhere pulling email from the server. This could be on a pc, phone, or other device. Even if you have no idea where the offending client is, you should be able to resolve it by simply changing your webmail password to something different. This will stop the client from authenticating, and it won't be able to remove your mail anymore.

Who is the email account provider?
With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

If you mean that when you start to enter an email address it completes the address with the incorrect one then the answer is no without restoring the iPad to factory defaults/new iPad.

I am not able to delete emails - only archive them? What setting allows me to delte them?

I have a gmail account set up on my phone - it will not allow me to delete emails, only archive them. How do I change this setting to allow deletion?

Email auto deletion settings.

I have had my email auto delete settings set the same for years. I have spam folder set to delete in 1 day and my sent email and trash folder to auto delete in 30 days. None of that is working anymore. I have to physically delete these folder items myself. It's not a big problem, just wondering why nothing is working like it use to.

Do you have the account enabled on another device like a smartphone or tablet? Are you now using an email client on your computer like Outlook, Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail? Because if you are, the settings on those other devices will override the ones you have set in the Comcast Preferences for the webmail.

When deleting emails, how do I change from "archive" to "delete"? Thank you!

I assume that it's a gmail account ? If you select the account on the right-hand side of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then on the popup tap on Account and then Advanced you should be set whether emails are deleted or archived : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207

Where does Mail keep its hidden cache of auto-complete email addresses. I am plagued with an incorrect email address I can't get rid of. Have made sure it's deleted from Contacts and made sure it's deleted from "Previous Recipients" list in Mail. But it still keeps reappearing ... obviously a secret cache file hidden somewhere?

Autocomplete has nothing to do with this problem.
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for a disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

Auto Delete old emails?

Is there a way to automatically delete emails that are in an inbox after they are say, 1 year old? My mother just will not delete them, and I need a way to automatically delete them after a given time. She just reads them and then leaves them in her inbox.

You could probably write some sort of automator action to do what you want, but you may be better off moving your mom's email account to gmail.com where she'll probably have enough space to hold several years worth of email for free.

Delete emails from server when removed from phone inbox

I want my server (Verizon Yahoo) to trash and delete messages when I trash or delete them on my 5s. I have gone into my Verizon account on the phone, made sure Trash was selected rather than Archive, selected "Delete from server..."when removed from inbox"", restarted, etc. Everything else works in the account, and when I delete on the server, it is deleted on the phone. I want emails to delete from the server when I remove them from the phone's inbox. Supposed to happen, but doesn't.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't very clear, I guess. What I want to do is Trash or Trash>Delete emails on my iPhone 5s and have them go away from the inbox on my Verizon/Yahoo server. That does not happen now, even though I have set the setting on my phone to do so. All the stuff in my inbox on the server reappears the next time my phone inquires, including the emails I've sent to Trash (on the phone) and those I've Trash>Deleted there. Not too worried about permanent, real, NSA-type deletion, because that just isn't going to happen - I am worried about the poor agent at NSA who has to read my boring, mundane emails, though. I just don't want to see stuff I've Deleted from my phone's inbox come back to the inbox. Zombiemail!

Unable to delete emails from care4free using thunderbird

I have just bought an imac and have transfered my thunderbird account from my old pc. I am unable to delete messages from my care4free POP account. Anyone help with this please?

Problems associated with deleting or moving email usually stem from failure to compact mail
folders, especially inboxes. This is because deleted email is not removed from the
application until you compact (expunge is the technical term). This can be done
automatically by a setting in your email account. Manually is simple enough. On any mail
folder do this: right click/compact (or File/Compact Folders). This is especially important
on inboxes but also, any folder from which you regularly delete/move email.
If you are experiencing problems you probably have a lot of uncompacted mail so be patient
the first time and watch the activity bar for its status (at the bottom of the application).

two things just for starters:
    Archive all the mail currently in the Inbox
