Script to delete emails from all folders after 72 hours
Hi team,
We are planning to implement Thunderbird company wide, but we we have asked by the client that the users will not retain any emails for more than 72 hours. I checked all available options but no luck.
It would be if anyone can help me on this, typically looking for a script or so to achieve this.
Greatly appreciated.
Thanks Prasad

In Tools/Account Settings, there is a Synchronization & Storage section for each (IMAP) account where you can set the retention policy. It can also be done for individual folders by right-clicking a folder, Properties, Retention Policy.
To do this manually (or automatically), you could create a filter that acts on messages whose Age is more than 3 days. Other rules besides the Age could be added for finer control.
