Is it possible to script a mass deletion of all messages prior to a chosen date for a single user?
We've got a client with a 100GB mailbox. She wants to bring this down to about 25GB, but doesn't have to go through it manually. If we could somehow automate removal of messages older than a date she chooses, this would speed things up dramatically.

Great, wasn't sure if GAMadv supported that query or not! Much appreciated!

Scroll down the page to see all of the possible query clauses
You'll find these:
Search for emails sent during a certain time period.
Search for emails older or newer than a time period. Use
d (day), m (month), or y (year).Ross

Hmmmm. GAM is saying that "maxtodelete" is an invalid argument:
I'm running v7.00.07.

That's because you said trash messages rather than delete messages; use maxtotrash.

Noticed it right after I posted; also forgot the underscores (max_to_trash). Thanks!
Now just figuring out how to log it properly and I should be good to go. Getting some "quotaExceeded - Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota)" errors, too, but I'm guessing that's a Google problem?
