Trying to get these more consistent. Will add some more improvements in the future, particularly an overlay for replied/forwarded messages ...

Probably there is, but I dont have it at hand. Very simple:

If maintenance kicks in:
1.) (if checked), WP deletes all messages matching the deletion filter that are older than the set date
2.) (if checked), WP deletes the oldest messages matching the deletion filter until the number is met or there are no more matching messages left

So in practice, the deletion filter may for example be set to prohibit the deletion of unread message even if they violate the date/number rule.

Automatic maintenance only happens for an area, if it is both globally enabled and for that particular area. This can be set to happen at beginning and/or shutdown of the application.

It is actually unused and I have on the list to remove it. WP internally operates differently.

Is on my list. Still using "mark as unread" for this, but hate it.
