mail expiration

Hi there,
I'm new to Opera Mail and I'm wondering if it is possible to let expire  
mails automatically.

What do you mean with 'expire'? Opera doesn't have a way to do things to  
messages after  acertain period of time. You can however set the mail  
windows to only show recent messages, see the View button on the mail  
window toolbar.

Well, assume I have a bunch of mails in a virtual folder.

I like to have a mechanism to automatically have deleted mails (means to  
move them to Trash) that are older than x days.

If it had either a "date" comparison condition in filters,
or an "All Mail" view like Gmail (which could be sorted on its
"Date" column),
this would be easy -- are either of these being implemented, or on the
"wishlist"?

"All Mail" = "Received". Can be sorted indeed.
