is it possible to automatically archive an email after it has been in the inbox for a certain length of time?

I say may because a few years ago I tried it but I have in the back of my mind that there were issues with it. One I think is that it wasn't automatic, but I'm not sure. I say that suggesting you make sure you back up and also that you test on several folders. I also assume you're using POP.
