I don't see the point of needing the mail retained in recent messages.
All my messages come dated, and I can sort them and search for specific
ones. Any message I need to get back to, I simply open it up in it's own
window until later. Other times, I label it something easy to find. I
frequently use "Recent items" in the Finder and other applications, but
PowerMail is much more flexible and self-contained when I need to get
back to a message that I always know where to look, or search. So, I must
really be missing something ...
