    I would like to be able to automatically delete anything from my inbox that's older than 30 days. I was trying this as a Cron job but haven't gotten it to work, the info in the curly braces is where I put my email info in:

    /usr/bin/archivemail --quiet --delete --days 30 /home/{mycpanelusername}/mail/{mydomain.com}/{myemailname}/inbox

    Is something wrong with this or is there a better way to go about this?

    Hello :)

    Yes, the thread referenced in the previous post should help you to setup a cron job to remove emails at a set time period. In particular, this post:

    Cron Job To Remove Emails

    Thank you.
