I cringe when I read about automatic cleanup tools like this because, in my opinion, they are just a way of avoiding taking responsibility to process what's in the inbox. Moving unprocessed email to a folder has its benefits in terms of getting an empty inbox but it only defers the decision of what to do next. Just my $.02.

Regardless, I'm interested to see how you use this.

@Eric,

what can I say... this is really just a work-around for users keeping 20000 or sometimes even 50000 documents in their inboxes. We have seen this many many times.

If you are running archiving than the inbox is automatically cleared too ;-) but this is also just a work-around.

It is very hard to explain users how to work with their e-mail. and this is a bigger problem than just moving documents to a different folder.

But yes if nothing else helps this can boost performance of the inbox quite a lot.

The better approach would be to help users in the way they manage their mails after they have processed them.

On the other side we have seen users with a couple of hundred folders and sub-folders ...This might also not be the right approach...
