I do it a little differently.
Click on the date column header to sort on date.
Scroll to the newest message that is 6 days old and click on it.
Shift + Home
At this point all messages older than 5 days should be highlighted. Then
press the Delete key + hold down the Shift key.
Yes
This will permanently delete the messages.

The best you can do is click on the date column header to sort on date.

Then press the Delete key. Do the Sent Items folder first.

I would like Outlook Express automatically remove 'sent' and 'deleted'
emails
older than 5 days. How do I do that?
