Google app script to automatically clean up Gmail inbox in a delayed fashion.
It is useful to receive some email notifications but after a while they become useless and start clogging the inbox.
This script will run every 30min (configurable) to archive messages based on a given list of filters/rules.
To make sure important messages are not archived, just mark them with a Star and they will be skipped by the script.
