Feature Req: Delete Email in Future.
Feature Request: Delete Email in Future. One feature that would help manage email effectively would be an option to delete email on a future date. This would be useful in situations where you know the information won't be valid after a certain date, but you can't delete it just yet.
For example, if I get a coupon from an online retailer that expires at the end of January, it will be of no use to me on Feb 1st, but I'd like to keep it until then. The problem is that if I don't have an automated way to delete it, it won't be worth the effort to manually remember to complete this task later -- leading to email bloat.
Or, if you are going back and forth with a friend about a scheduled meeting, the email thread may be important until the meeting and maybe a week after. But, after that, there's no need to keep the emails.
Being able to remove these emails will remove worthless content from email searches, help me find relevant email/info faster, and reduce the size of indexes. I don't know any email solution that does this today so it would be a good differentiator.

Interesting suggestion. Kind of begs the question of whether or not Postbox should allow for the scheduling of other types of operations, such as send, archive, etc.
