Version: 1.2.1
Synopsis: TTL for email messages
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
This is not a bug but a feature request.

It would be nice to right-click on an email, select an option called
"Time To Live", and specify a time for an email to remain in its folder
before being sent to the Trash folder.  Minutes, days, and months seem
acceptable for TTLs.  There could be a global setting for confirming
these deletions.

I thought of this feature because a lot of my work emails are only
relevant for a certain length of time (e.g., conference call dial in
info).  It's a real pain to have to sift through old email to find these
and delete them.  However, if I could set a TTL on the email the first
time I read it then I wouldn't have to go back to delete it.

Hope this helps make Evolution a better piece of software than Outlook,
which it already is :)

Very much like bug 201824 but you are talking about folders and not POP
server.
