Spammers have developed a technique lately whereby they set the date of their messages as 12 December 2040, or somesuch. Thunderbird recognizes the spam content, and moves the message to Trash automatically, but the post-dated spam evades my Delete setting, which instructs TB to automatically delete messages older than 30 days. So the spam messages stay in my Trash forever. Does anyone know a way to tell TB to detect and delete post-dated messages?

You might try setting filter for Date is after a specified date.

Thanks David, that got rid of the current batch of 200 or so. However, I will need to update manually it every day to deal with the new arrivals. It doesn't seem possible to set the filter for Date is after Today. O well, Thunderbird costs us, how much... ? I should be just grateful for everything it can do, not miserable about one or two things it can't do. I appreciate your help.

First, I sincerely appreciate your attitude. Thunderbird will never do everything and we all need to be ready for the occasional workaround. :) Second, you might try setting date to 2040 and just adjust periodically. I wish you well.
