Rules for moving emails to another folder from Inbox

First, thanks for the recent update. It made moving to OASDI2 for Outlook/Hotmail easy.
That was not the case for another email client I use. It stopped connecting to Outlook/Hotmail after the security change, and hasn't reconnected for years.
I still use it because of a rules feature which works on my other, Pop 3 account. It follows the rule, but only after 10 days of the email being in the Inbox. That means I can see sales at stores and use coupons, but then the email moves automatically. I can also modify the rule so it applies only when certain text is/is not in the title.
I hope that Pop Peeper will consider having such rules. Then I would need only one email client.

POP Peeper Pro does have rules that allow you to filter depending on the subject; but does not (officially) have rules available based on age.

The problem with rules based on age is that it means the filter has to be constantly checked at times other than when PP currently does (ie. one time: when PP sees the message for the first time). I have some ideas on how to make this more efficient, but I'm not optimistic enough to have started the project yet. To tell the truth -- this is a rule that I would likely use myself.

You may want to see if your server already provides rules to do this. While it may be annoying if you have several accounts you want to apply this to, it certainly offloads the workload from your own computer.
