Hi Sergio!

Thanks for your answer!
I don't want to put mails in another mailbox. I want to limit the mails
to mails posted after a certain date, without removing the older ones
from the mailbox. It is doable with / t but that makes me calculate
again and again the number of days since the 'filter date'. Because / t
requires to enter a number of days and not a date...

Thanks for helping !
