Check to be sure your system clock is set correctly. It decides what is old enough based on the date on your system clock. And although I don't think they can be different, verify that OS 9 in Classic is reporting the same date as OS X. Also, have you checked to see what it isn't deleting? How far off are the messages from your cutoff date. ie: If the messages are supposed to be deleted after 30 days, what is the newest message waiting to be deleted? 31 days? 60 days? 90 days? 4 years? I'm curious if Emailer has some maximum distance date it will look at. Maybe it won't acknowledge anything over 6 months (just plucking a random date out of the air as an example). Since you rarely quit Emailer, and it only does this processing when it is quit, maybe everything you have rolled beyond whatever its maximum date distance is. >If I throw the Emailer preference file away, please remind me exactly >what information it holds, so I know what to record for reentering, so I >can try that option. The prefs file stores anything in the Setup Menu -> Preferences. That is about it. Mail actions, accounts, schedules, all that stuff is kept in their own files (accounts are kept in the Mail Database). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
