Rule to delete messages after a week

[amelia]

Hi.. we are running outlook 2007. We get emails everyday from a certain
group and ive set up a rule to put them into a folder. what i want to do now
is set up a rule to delete them from this folder every few days or after a
week. Use to be able to do this in outlook 2000. Is this possible? I can't
see an obvious rule.

Rules are not for this purpose. AutoArchive is designed for this;
Tools-> Options-> tab Other-> button AutoArchive

Archive the folder - but change the defaults, so you "archive" to
permanentely delete (rather than store in an archive pst file).

It's not done using a rule - you can do it using autoarchive.
