Is there a setting in Mail or online for deleting old .mac mail (older than a month) from the server or for just downloading it to my computer after a certain period? I like to have my recent mail accessible from anywhere, but I don't have much need to keep it online after about a month.

I just got an email from Apple saying that I have almost used my 15MBs of space.

So can I just make a rule to move old messages to the trash? Does it have to go specifically to the .mac trash folder in Mail in order to be deleted from the server?

Now that I try this, it doesn't seem possible to make a rule for moving messages based on their date rec'd. What's up with that?

In addition, I want to keep the messages on my computer. I just want to delete the old ones from the .mac server.

Yeah, I see that, but how do I get messeges moved to the trash based on the date? Doesn't seem possible. And I don't want to move my messeges to the trash on my computer. I want to keep them around for future reference.
