Question asked on Oct 23, 2013
I have been exploring the sweep function but can't get it to do what I want in Hotmail - now the new Outlook

I would like it to automatically delete all messages from my Sent folder after 60 days. Not just from one sender/to one addressee, but all messages in that folder. But the Sweep function is only available if you have already selected one email address. I want sweep to work for ALL messages in that folder.

Can I use wildcards, eg *@*.*, for email addresses so I can make the sweep function work on messages to any recipient in that folder?

Many thanks for reading and if anyone has the answer!

Tony
