Mail rules does not seem to let you operate on a specific mailbox.

Maybe you could manage deleting those particular email messages in Mac Mail by creating a Smart Mailbox and a rule or a condition that could delete such messages after X days or whatever your condition is you want to set:

Hopefully there's a "condition" that matches what you need that you could set for the Smart Mailboxuse and accomplish what you you want.

If not, possibly the Mail Rules or Conditions allows you to run an AppleScript to do what you want.
