How to setup folders in Fastmail that auto-purge emails

Did you know that Fastmail has folders that will auto-purge emails? This feature allows you to automatically delete messages from a folder after a certain amount of time. I’ve found that this is a great way to manage notification emails that I want to keep but not forever.

To set up a folder with auto-purge, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to the Settings page in Fastmail.
  2. Click on the Folders tab.
  3. Find the folder that you want to set up auto-purge for.
  4. Click on the Edit button.
  5. Scroll down to the Automated Actions section.
  6. Check the box next to Auto-purge this folder on a selected date.
  7. Select the number of days after which you want the messages to be deleted.
  8. Click on the Save button.

That's it! Once you've set up a folder with auto-purge, any messages that are older than the specified number of days will be automatically deleted.
