I see your point.
Would it be unreasonable to suggest _expiring_ items in conversational mail
folders after an interval of perhaps a day, or a week, or a month, which
would seem to solve your need (without requiring an action to delete, and
reduce the traffic and storage volume for the rest of us?
I'd have difficulty distinguishing between business and personal mail, if the
rule was that business mail must be kept forever+day or even 6 years, but
that perosnal mail might be deleted upon reading. I suspect that mailsystem
designers also will have that difficulty.
