I have a couple filters designed to delete email messages older than a certain age. Is there any way to make them run automatically, ie., run filter x on folder y every sunday at 4am?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

In case anyone else wants similar functionality, there is an extension called Awesome Auto Archive that moves/deletes/copies/archives messages automatically according to its own set of rules. It has limitations (still early in development), but will do what I want and may do what others want as well.
