Well, maybe setting up some sort of a cron job, perhaps. But then I
have no idea what kind of utility I would use to correctly extract
messages received before a certain date from an mbox file. Also,
such cron job would probably not be able to tell if a message is
ticked and should be kept in the meantime.
It's only the personal mail that I don't want to expire. I feel like I
can never know for sure when or if I would need some message in the
future.
In any case, the price of storage is so low nowadays, that one could
probably archive 10 years' worth of personal email traffic, and still
not pay $10 for that. ;^)
