Hi @mpbarber! Let's get the doubt taken care of.

 

There is currently no option to set up automatic email removal. For emails in your regular inbox that are 30 days old or more, you'll need to go in and delete them manually. If you'd like, you can go through and mark the unwanted emails as spam. When they are marked as spam and routed to that folder, they will be automatically deleted after 30 days.

Let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
