Paul, if it's spam, why do you want to keep it at all.
I have my SM set up so that what SM thinks is spam is moved to the Trash
folder, which I double-check just to make sure, then the Trash is
deleted when SM is closed.
That's exactly the point -- to have one final chance to review before it
gets deleted. There are times when I get really busy and don't review my
spam the same day as I receive it. Seven days is the program default.
Like you, I have SM set to empty all Trash folders on exit, which
immediately precludes review.
It also gives me a way, by monitoring the counts, to see whether I'm
getting more or less spam than usual. When my ISP changes its spam
filters, I often notice a dramatic change; recently they started
labeling all kinds of innocuous messages as "***SPAM***," and I was
having to fish them all out of the Junk folder until I changed the
settings at the server.
