I have used filters to process incoming messages satisfactorily, either to my in-box, or to 'trash'. All non-validated email is shunted to a dump folder. Most of these messages are spam, but just sometimes there are important ones that I need. So I need to go through this dump folder.
It is very obvious that huge volumes of spam use the same subject lines, even though they appear to be coming from different sources. So its quite easy to sort on subject, and delete whole blocks of these messages on the basis of identical subjects. I allow a few days to elapse before dealing with this folder, to ensure a sufficient volume of identical subject lines to accummulate.
But is there a way I could automate this process?? Perhaps setting the multiple factor at any arbitrary number (eg 'delete all messages where subject lines are identical and occur more than x time'?
Your ideas gratefully received!
