I have some senders (like Amazon) whose emails lose relevance after 30 days for me. I am trying to write a Shortcuts that can search for emails from those senders and delete them after 30 days. I intend to run the Shortcut as an automation every day.

When I open the Shortcuts app on macOS (Sonoma 14.2.1) I see an action 'Find Message'. But I am not able to enter the email ID manually in the action.

When I open the Shortcuts app on iPhone (iOS 17.2.1) I see action 'Search in Mail'. It allows me to search on a text and ends up opening Apple Mail on iPhone

Is there any way to achieve this functionality?

You can do this in the regular Mail Rules.

If all conditions are met:
From contains amazon
Date received is greater than 30 days.

Delete messages.

  • Wasn't aware of that. How often/when are these rules evaluated?

    As far as I know, every time new mail comes in, it runs all rules; or you can apply to a selection on the right click menu.
