You have to do it manually. Here are a few ways.
You can create a message such as this:
Tools>Message Rules>News.
Box 1: Where the message was sent more than days ago
Box 2: Delete it
Box 3: Click on "Days" and choose the # of days you want.
Name the rule.
*NOTE* This will not delete messages automatically. You have to go to
Tools>Message
Rules>News, and click Apply now when you want to do this.
If you want to delete a selection of messages, but not the first or
last, click on the last message you want to delete, scroll up as far
as you want to delete messages, hold down the Shift key and click on
that message. This will highlight the messages in blue. Hit the
Delete key.
If you want to delete every message after a certain one, click on the
newest message you want deleted. Hold Ctrl+Shift and tap the End key,
then Delete.
If you want to delete all messages in a newsgroup, highlight any
message - Hold Ctrl & A and tap Delete.
Any way you do it, follow up by compacting all your folders
*manually* while working offline.
File>Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar).
File>Folder>Compact all folders.
