Sent items is easy: set record /sent/mail/folder Of course, replace "/sent/mail/folder" with whatever the real path to your "Sent Items" folder is. I don't have a good answer for the trash folder. You could set up some macros that save the file in your trash folder when you press 'd' instead of deleting them outright (saving to another folder deletes the message from the current folder). Then setup a folder hook so that pressing 'd' while in the trash folder really deletes. The only real problem with this is that other deleting in ways other than just pressing 'd' won't utilize the trash folder. -- Luke
