Default Macro to Flag based on criteria

Hey All,

I'm looking to write a Macro in Outlook 2003 that will flag messages
red when they are 29 days old.

I would also like to set something up that will delete messages that
have a certain color flag when I hit a custom button.

Has anyone done antyhing like this before? I'm pretty familiar with
Excel VBA, but this is my first attempt in Outlook.

Thanks for any help!!

How about a search folder for messages older than 29 days? you could also
use one for the color delete one - then select all and delete the messages
in it. This is safer than using na automated system and doesn't require
hours of programming.
