I loved this feature of Claris Emailer so much that I wish the OS 9/X trash can had it. It has saved me a few times. But the idea of moving mail from other folders (the Sent Mail folder in particular) to the trash after a certain amount of time is equivalent, although a little more complicated. I'd have to make a new folder called "Soon to be Trash". Dan
