Purge Rules for Email in Thunderbird
The filters function is a great function but I have a bit of a complex question where filters are concerned. I want to create 30, 60, 90 day purge rules with a list of email addresses attached to each such that those specific emails from the specified addresses are deleted at the selected intervals.
Is there a way to create single time-based purge rules using a list of email addresses or must I create a purge rule for each email address individually? E.g., <Match Any of the Following> From > Is > email@example1.com From > Is > email@example2.com Age in Days > Is Greater Than > 30 <Perform These Actions> Delete Message
The way I understand the syntax of instructions, each operator is an either/or so the filter when executed would DELETE ANY message greater than 30 days AND ANY message from @example 1 or @example2. Is that reading correct or am I reading the syntax operators wrong?
However, I want the purge rule to delete only those messages from @example1 & example 2 that are 30 days old. Are my filter criteria correct in the example above to achieve this aim or should I use different instructions?
Is it possible to enter multiple email addresses in a single filter criteria and what's the proper syntax? (e.g., From > Is > email@example1.com; email@example2.com OR email@example1.com, email@example2.com)

You're correct. You want both and and or in the logic and the fiter is either/or. I don't use filters much, but my thought is you might be able to create two manually filters: one to locate the individual email ids and tag them with a tag not used otherwise; the second filter to be run after the first to check for the tag and to delete.
