I am again deleting old mails. And I have inboxes with like 200 of them, it is hell.

I would like to autodelete mails that contain a date. If there are multiple dates, take the latest one. If that date is older than x days from today, delete the mail.

Is there something like that? Or some regex possible in native filters?

    So you’re not simply trying to delete old emails based on the date they were sent to you? It might help to know where these dates are located, if in the subject line or in the body. And is consistently a straightforward date like “2024-02-11”, or are you also trying to look for vague references like “Feb 11”? That might make a difference for how the question is answered, however a quick google search suggests that the FiltaQuilla add-on will support regular expressions in the message filters for addresses and subjects, while “Expression Search / GmailUI” adds expressions for body searches.

      No that would be easy. Often that also works and is kinda enough, but invitations are always sent in different timespans ahead.

      Hm, seems like both addons are not what I need but if there is a good modern one that could be used as reference.
