The boss has semi retired but still wants to see a copy of all the OS Commerce sales. There are in excess of 50 per day from various sites. I have copies going to a seperate mailbox, but he's either not tech savvy enough to clear them out, or just too lazy. Is there any method I could use so that any email older than 30 days is removed from the mailbox automatically, otherwise we run the risk of there being thousands within a few months.

  Adding a schedule is pretty straight forward, it's the scripting of the delete and figuring out how to delete the files, which ones to delete and not interfere with anything else that i'll struggle with. Maybe this should be a feature built in to cpanel, or one of the web clients ?

  You can open a feature request at: Submit A Feature Request However, note a feature that deletes customer data is unlikely. You may want to consult with a third-party developer for assistance with writing a custom application or script if the thread referenced earlier is unhelpful. Thank you.
