If you're running OS X here's a solution. Go to Wayne's PowerMail page and get the Delete Aged Messages script. Set up a cron job to run the script. The problem with what you want is that you want an additional piece of information written to the message everytime you move it to a different folder. I can't see that happening. If you don't want something to be trashed then don't put it in the trash. Create a pre-Trash folder that will be set to delete after 90 days or something. -- Andy Fragen TiBook 400/384 RAM - OS X 10.2.6 - PowerMail v4.1.3 PowerMail AppleScript Archives: http://homepage.mac.com/wayneb/powermail.html
