In options I have set calendar events older than 12 months to be erased. But
events back in 2002 are still kept! This creates problems when I synchronize
with my PDA, which then becomes very slow because of all the (unnecessary)
information stored.
To delete all events prior to the past twelve months, go to Edit -> Advanced
Find, and create a query like this: ITEM TYPES Calendar Events CRITERIA
Match if any criteria are met Category is None Category is not None.
This will give you a list of all events. Click the "Date" column header to
sort by it (you might have to enable it in View -> Columns -> Date). When
you have it, click it and it should darken with an upward pointing triangle
(click it again to reverse the direction of the triangle). Then, click the
first event in the list, scroll down to the event twelve months ago, and
Shift-click it. Notice that all events prior to twelve months ago are
selected. Just press the Delete button to eliminate these events, and from
now on events older than ten months will be deleted automatically because of
the preference change you've made.
