Developers: RE: make a tool to sort and delete mass emails: I want a tool to allow me to delete all unstarred and untagged emails within a date range
DEVELOPER CHALLENGE: I have thousands of unread emails in my in-box that I'd like to delete with one step. But I also have lots of UNREAD emails that I have starred or tagged in my in-box too that I want to keep. So what I wish for is a tool that would enable me to tell Thunderbird to delete all messages within a date range, but keep the starred and tagged messages. Or in leui of that easy tool, can you tell me best way to accomplish this goal with existing Thunderbird tools? I'm using Windows 7 Pro, and Thunderbird is up to date version 60.7.2 (32-bit). Thank you very much! Amy 7-5-19

One way would be to search Inbox (right-click, Search Messages...) as in the attached picture to find unstarred or untagged messages, then click the Date button in the results to sort them, and then Delete the ones in the desired range. You could also move the messages to a folder and then apply a second search that filters according to 'Date is before' and 'Date is after'. The process could also be automated in a similar way with a message filter.
