Hey all,

I've already contacted Apple support on this issue and the senior advisor told me as of now I can't accomplish what I want with the Mail application. He suggested I look around for a script for the Automator or have someone make one for me.

Here's what I want...

I'd like to have Mail move all messages from sender "John Doe" to a specified folder. After that, I'd like Mail to delete all messages from said user if they are 24 hours or older from the current received date. I picked 24 hours because that's the lowest number Mail offers, but realistically I'd like to go with say 4 or 6 hours.

I get a lot of notifications from a service I use and it sometimes clogs up my inbox. Hence, why I want to move them to a dedicated folder... I want/need to have the old notification messages purged from the folder to keep it clean and up to date.

If anyone could help me with this, I'd be grateful!

Thanks!
