Feature Description

Hello,

thank you so much for this wonderful and easy-to-set-up mail archive! It's been a great help as my inbox grows larger every day.

Currently, I find myself deleting over 70% of incoming emails because they're unwanted, things like login tokens, yet another notification from Amazon for a single order, or similar transient messages. Unfortunately, these also get archived immediately, which ends up wasting storage space on emails that are essentially trash.

It would be a huge improvement if you could add an option to "only archive emails that are older than X (days/hours/etc.)".
This way, short-lived or unwanted messages could be handled (e.g., deleted) without cluttering the archive.

Thanks again for your great work, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Best regards,
Jake

Proposed Solution

Add a setting in the mailbox configuration: "Only archive emails older than X (e.g., 7 days / 24 hours)".
