How to automatically clean out email folders

SmarterMail has a "Folder Auto-Clean" feature allows you to automatically delete messages in the "Deleted Items," "Junk E-mail" or "Sent Items" folders. Auto-cleaning folders will help prevent your email quota from being used by spam or deleted messages. Mailboxes can be cleaned based on the age of the messages or the size of the mailbox. Messages deleted during the auto-clean process cannot be retrieved, so be sure to allow enough time before auto-cleaning to review all of your messages.

Please note that the Folder Auto-Clean feature may not run as scheduled. This is a known issue, and we have reported the bug to SmarterTools, but we don't know if or when they will fix it.
