Description Matěj Cepl 2006-11-20 10:33:27 UTC 
Switching to Gnome from KDE, I have some functionalities which I sorely miss in Evolution. Message expiry (described in KMail documentation
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdepim/kmail/folders.html#folders-properties-expiry ) is one of them. Especially with huge folders (working in this position just month and something and one folder for internal mails has already 1215 messages) it would be useful to archive older versions of messages to some archive folder. Moreover, this functionality is present in other MUA/PIM programs you wish to replace (Outlook comes first to mind). Probably best to do EPlugin for it, but I cannot program C/C# myself (and there is no Python EPlugin API) so I have to ask for help here.

Comment 2 Milan Crha 2008-07-23 14:17:29 UTC 
There is a python binding in recent development version (2.23.5, maybe since 2.23.4 or a bit earlier). If I recall correctly then some small parts are still missing there, but not so many as far as I know. Thus try that.

Created attachment 305943 [details]
Screenshot of Folder Properties

Added a new tab into folder properties where users can override account's Archive folder, together with the age of the messages (sent date) when they should be moved to the appropriate folder, or deleted. Enough to refresh the folder to apply the settings, which is done pretty often on its own.
