Hi guys:
I'm clearing old info, and ran across something interesting.  I would like to 
find out how to delete emails from server automatically.  Acording to this old 
post, one can do so in advanced under mail preferences.  However, I don't find 
an advanced tab there.  How silly is that?  Am I looking in the wrong place?  
There appears to be general, accounts, viewing, composing etc, but no advanced.
Any help appreciated.

Carolyn
