Open the message and press the Options button. Here you can set an
expiration date for the email. You can then use AutoArchive to automatically
delete the expired items.

When I get an email sometimes I only need to keep it for a few days or
weeks. By the time it is out of date it has disappeared down my inbox, so
it often does not get deleted.
When I get an email is it possible to put on a setting to delete it on a
date in the future? I could put on a flag to remind me to deletion later,
but would like it even better if it deleted without any further input.
