I still haven't figured out how the Junk Mail auto-delete feature in Mail works. In fact, it seems not to.
My Mail program picks up mail in two accounts. In both accounts, the junk mail preferences are set exactly the same: Junk Mail filtering is enabled and it is set to automatically move junk mail to the Junk mailbox. Under the Accounts/Special Mailboxes preferences, the Junk mail box in each accounts is set to erase messages when one day old. The Trash mailbox is set to move deleted messages to a separate folder (Trash, presumably) and to erase deleted messages when one day old. I would expect that these settings would result in: 1. All mail identified as "junk" being moved automatically to the Junk folder. 2. Mail in the Junk folder would be automatically erased (sent to the Trash folder) after it was one day old. 3. Mail in the Trash folder would be automatically deleted after it had resided in the Trash folder for one day. In effect, this would give me two days to find and retrieve any mail that was wrongly labeled "junk," which is what I want. What actually happens is that Step 1 works fine, Step 2 does not work (even if I quit mail or turn off the computer). The mail in the Junk folder just stays in the Junk folder until I manually delete it. Any suggestions? | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 22.
