They&rsquo;re useful for a few hours and then become noise. These aren&rsquo;t emails that need to be archived, replied to, or revisited, so they just end up taking up mental space.</p> <p>Deleting them manually is the kind of small task that never becomes a priority, but silently costs you in distraction. So I decided to treat it like any other recurring problem: automate it locally, without relying on external services, no <em>webhooks</em>, and no integrations. The idea is to periodically run a script that moves to the trash any <a href="https://devops.sarmento.org/experiencias-com-mensagens-subliminares/">messages</a> whose subject matches a specific pattern and that are older than 48 hours.</p>
