Description
I have search for this issue and have not been able to find anything about this. I would like to suggest the following enhancement.
I have just downloaded ver. 5.3 and have this on Android 6.
In the Inbox and/or Trash folder it would be helpful to be able to delete by a date range. (Example: I currently have over 16,000 deleted messages in my Trash folder. I would like to delete all messages prior to 01/01/2017.)
This could be expanded to other criteria as well, such as, an individual sender, Subject, etc.
If I have missed this someplace and it is already available I apologize. If someone would please direct me to this feature I would appreciate it.
Thank you for your consideration.

Start with the Inbox and Trash folders and their existing delete action; the issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Define the date-range behavior and confirm that messages matching a selected range can be deleted, including the example of deleting messages before a specified date.
