This might have been mentioned before, but something I've set up to replace the recent mail window and keep a record of recent mail even after shut-downs is a filter immediately after the spam filters with the following basic conditions:
Move message into folder (New Mail) - which I've created at the root level of the folder list Execute Apple Script (Duplicate Message) and unchecked "Don't apply subsequent filters to this message" - this ensures the message is processed by subsequent filters and a copy ends up where you want it to be. This way you get a folder dedicated to all your recent mail that will still be there even if you shut down, plus a copy of the mail in it's "home folder". Add whatever other filters you need here. For example if you don't want the message status to be flagged as unread in both it's home folder and the "new mail" folder, the following will only flag it as unread in the "new mail" folder: Set status to read Execute Applescript Duplicate Message Set Status to Unread Move message into folder New Mail And so on. Seems to work well...
