How to enable automatic cleaning in Gmail

By default, Gmail does not allow you to add a personal folders Auto Purge, that you need to use the script, I have added the code to write everywhere.

/ / Name Gmail label, which is intended to autopurged?
GMAIL_LABEL var = "News";
/ / Purge messages, how many days?
var PURGE_AFTER = "10";
purgeGmail function () {
var age = new Date ();
age.setDate (age.getDate () - PURGE_AFTER);
var = cleaning Utilities.formatDate (age, Session.getTimeZone (), "yyyy-MM-dd ');
var search = "label" + GMAIL_LABEL + "before" + blow;
/ / This creates a simple Gmail search
/ / Query as the label: Newsletters before: 12/10/2012
try {
/ / We deal with 100 posts of the lot to prevent script errors.
/ / Otherwise, it could throw an exception Exceed the maximum execution Apps Script
var = GmailApp.search threads (search, 0, 100);
/ / Large lots, to create a second time trigger that
/ / Activate the automatic cleaning process after 'n' minutes.
if (threads.length == 100) {
ScriptApp.newTrigger ("purgeGmail")
. Time Based ()
. At (new Date ((new Date ()). GetTime () + 1000 * 60 * 10))
. Create ();
}
/ / Address yarn can be more than one message and the timestamp
/ / Individual posts can be different.
for (var i = 0, i <threads.length i + +) {
var = GmailApp.getMessagesForThread messages (thread [i]);
for (var j = 0, j <messages.length j + +) {
var email = messages [j];
if (email.getDate () <age) {
email.moveToTrash ();
}
}
}
/ / If the script fails for one reason or catch the exception,
/ / It will only delay the automatic purge until the next day.
} Catch (e) {}
}

I just put this code reference. Go to Google to drive through the link I provided, you will be redirected to this script. click File >> Make a copy and it will make a copy of the Google drive folder.

Find out the variable named GMAIL_LABEL and set the name of the folder cleaning also be set to PURGE_AFTER a number of days, you want those e-mails will be deleted.

You have to give some to use this script, go to RUN >> Initialize. Do not be afraid that you will be sharing your information with anyone after the issue of the use, your data is always safe.

Now finally go to RUN >> Install. It completes all formalities and your folder will be introduced for automatic cleaning.

If you need to remove this script, log in to Google Drive folder and go to RUN >> Uninstall.

Enjoy!
