I've found it a very useful backup, when I'm having mail problems. I just wish I could set an expiry date - say delete everything over 3 months old - but it doesn't seem possible. When I asked on the forum I was rubbished, being told that I could store a life-time's mail. The fact that I didn't want to seemed irrelevant to the people on the forum.

You can delete mail. You can set up auto forwarding which deletes Gmails copy. Deleted mail goes to trash. Trash is emptied 30 days after arrival, unless you go there manually and delete it sooner. You are correct does not seem to be an automated way to purge trash on your chosen time frame. Of course, there are those who believe that even emptying the trash does not, in fact, delete the mail entirely. I don't believe its possible to argue with such folks because nothing you say will prove that there remains no copy somewhere, and such people will not take anyones word or written statement to the contrary. Still, its good enough for Mailing list traffic. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
