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.

    If you update to iOS 8, you can select that in Settings>Messages>Keep Message and then select your option. If you don't update to iOS 8, you'll need to do it manually.

  • How can i set Messages to auto answer video chats?

    I used to be able to have iMessages and iChat auto-answer incoming video chat/calls.  I use this to communicate with staff who may not be able to quickly accept the incoming event.

    Hi,
    The AppleScript for this is still  there.
    It can be set in Messages Menu > Preference > General Section in the bottom drop down.
    The Sound/alerts pane has gone in Mavericks and sound can now only be changed for  "Messages Received".
    Although I must admit to not trying it I have presumed the AppleScript would then only work for Text Invites.
    Having said that the AppleScript should be able to run as a separate even like an App from the Dock.
    The Drop Down in Messages has an Option to Show In Finder effectively.

  • How can I get back Mail Auto-Complete email addresses?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail no longer works with the auto-complete of email address.
    My Contacts.app works fine, it just seems that Mail is no longer able to 'read' from my Contacts.
    I use iCloud and everything was great for years.  Mail preferences is set to Auto-Complete email address from my Contacts.
    Not sure how the problem started, but I launched Mail on a 2nd computer  - on the same iCloud.
    Shortly after I did that, my 1st Mac no longer auto-completes email.  I'm unsure if that is what set off the problem.
    Also, I 'did' read Tom Nelson's article which did not work since it's not an 'alias' problem:
    http://macs.about.com/od/MacTroubleshootingTips/qt/What-To-Do-When-Mountain-Lion -Mail-Fails-To-Auto-Complete-Email-Addresses.htm
    Also, there doesn't appear to be a com.apple.mail.plist preferences file I can even delete in Mountain Lion.
    I use Dropbox, but have never it to sync Addresses, Calendar, etc.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    I had the same issue. After reading this solution I started poking around in the Container folder and found that there was a symlink for AddressBook that was messed up which was causing the problem. In ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support I ran:
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ ls -lh
    AddressBook -> ??/???7??ʪ?????VT???;??\G[?:??:??????T?_Ү??
    CrashReporter
    Mail
    SyncServices -> ../../../../../Application Support/SyncServices
    iCloud -> ../../../../../Application Support/iCloud
    Seeing the aliases for SyncServices and iCloud, I guessed correctly that I just needed to recreate the AddressBook alias to point to the right place. So I just removed the alias for AddressBook, recreated it, restarted Mail, and it worked perfectly. (Note: I did the following to remove the alias, and recreate it. You should confirm what you are removing is an alias. You should also always make sure you have a backup.)
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ rm AddressBook
    $ ln -s ../../../../../Application\ Support/AddressBook AddressBook
    Obviously, DrewSchatt's  original solution to this works as well, but this way you don't have to delete the whole folder, resetting your preferences and possibly delete something else important (only recreating the alias, not deleting any files or data).

  • How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

    I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only".  Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.
    Capt. Dinosaur

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
    “Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
    You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
    a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
    First, create the account in Outlook: -
    Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
    POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
    In the Outgoing server field, type
    nomail.
    Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
    If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
    Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
    Deselect the option to
    Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
    Click on the
    Finish to return to Outlook.
    Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
    Send and Receive Settings for this account.
    Press
    Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
    Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
    Click the
    Edit button.
    Select the receive-only account, then deselect
    Send Mail Items.
    Click on the
    OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • How can I set up a program to stop at a certain time, or after a period of time?

    I am using LabVIEW to measure dc voltages over a period of time. The data is exported into an Excel file.  I would like to be able to set up the program to stop at a certain time, or after a certain number of hours.  This way when I run a test that will start near the end of the week and would stop on say, Saturday, it will not continue to record all the data after that, which I do not need. I would love to be able to set a time for it to end, but I  also wouldn't mind having it end, or stop recording data, after a certain voltage has been reached.

    Its hard to say without knowing more about how your program is set up.  Assuming the data aquisition is in a while loop, you can just wire a bunch of different stop conditions into a compound math node.  Then right click on it and select "OR".  A caveat about the comparisons I used in my little example: Comparing DBLs can lead to unexpected results when the two values are very close together.

  • How can I set priority on an individual email in my inbox?

    I have the Priority column open in Thunderbird, but I can't set the priority. How can I do this?

    'Tools' > 'Message filters'
    * click on 'New'
    * give filter a name
    Apply filter filter when:
    * select: 'Manually Run'
    * Select: 'Getting new mail'
    if you want to check for and remove junk first.
    * select: 'filter after junk classification',
    If there is only one condition or if you want to use more conditions that say 'A' AND 'B' must occur.
    * select 'Match all of the following'
    If there is more than one condition or if you want to use two more conditions that say 'A' OR 'B' must occur.
    * select 'Match any of the following'
    you will need to work out what condition(s) need to be met, such as:
    example:
    'FROM' and 'IS' and 'email address'
    to set another condition click on the small +
    Perform this action:
    'Set Priority to' and 'Highest'
    * click on OK to save the filter.
    * make sure it is enabled.
    Message filters run in the order listed. So you need to make sure that you do not have another filter positioned above that filter which could filter emails before the second filter can work.

  • How can I convince T'bird to delete email when online in an IMAP account?

    When online, deleting email Thunderbird does not automaticly move the message to the Trash folder as selected in "Account Settings:Server Settings:Server Settings:When I delete a message: Move it to this folder: 'Trash'." However, this does work automaticly when Thunderbird is offline.
    I'm fairly sure the constant failure, with a notice, of the program to place a sent email into the 'Sent' folder is related. When I mark a messate as junk it is marked junk but not moved to the 'Junk' folder as set in the account settings....
    The accounts do have a Trash, Junk and Sent folder on account provider's server.
    - Jim

    Jim, I said right click the account in the folder (that is the list on the far left of your screen) when you select subscribe you get a dialog that looks like the attached image. That is "what the server has" So you checking the other dialog for mismatches. You will also need to look in Server settings for your deleted folder setting. For some reason it is not with the others.
    If you click on the advanced button in Synchronization and storage, you will get the same "subscribe" dialog if the other instructions just don't cut it.

  • In iWS 4-6, how can I cause a user to re-login after 30 minutes of idle time?

    We are using NSE 3.x as well as iWS 4, and 6 for several websites. They all use Directory services and SSL. I want to be able to force the user to re-login into the site after a specified amount of idle. Also, if possible, I would like the user to be able to log (him/her)self out at any point without closing the browser. How can this be done?
    Thanks in advance,
    scott

    Hello,
    You didn't mention on which platform you are running the iplanet web server. I assume that you are running iWS on (UNIX/LINUX) platform.
    you need to set the CGIStubIdleTimeout directive for the required time to logoff the user idle for seconds, which causes the server to kill any CGIStub processes that have
    been idle for the number of seconds set by this directive. Once the number of
    processes is at MinCGIStubs it does not kill any more processes. The default is 45.
    CGIExpirationTimeout limits the maximum time in seconds that CGI processes
    can run.
    Thanks

  • How can i set Safari to auto center my web browser everytime I open it?

    Is there something I'm not seeing?   It would be incredibly convenient to have safari start out dead center of the page. 

    1) From Safari's Bookmarks menu select "Add Bookmark Folder." A new "untitled folder" will appear in the left-hand side, highlighted and ready to be named.
    2) You should already have separate bookmarks for each of your desired sites. Create them if you don't. Copy each of the desired bookmarks to the newly created folder.
    3) Under Safari Preferences > General > "New windows open with:" select "Choose tabs folder..."
    4) From the popup menu select the newly created folder and press Choose.

  • How Can I set up Thunderbird for multiple email addresses

    I am using Eudora 7 to handle 6 email accounts on a Windows XP SP3 machine. I want to install Thunderbird on the same machine and import the email addresses. I have Eudora setup to store the data files for each email address in a different data directory. This allows me to have a different icon on the desktop for each email account. Clicking on an icon starts Eudora with the email address data stored in a specific directory.
    What I don't know is how to have Thunderbird import the different email addresses from Eudora to Thunderbird and how to keep the individual email address data separate in Thunderbird.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I never used Eudora, so I can't tell much about it. In any case, I believe it's dead.
    Wrt multiple accounts in Thunderbird, there isn't much you can do wrong. Simply run the new account wizard and set-up the accounts you want (one at a time).
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration
    If any of your accounts are POP ones, make sure not to enable Global Inbox to keep them separate.
