I have to disagree with this. As a long-time Claris user (and you may not understand this if you didn't use that product), I got used to having options that are not in PowerMail. One of those options is to delete items from a folder that are older than X number of days. This is great ... especially for trash and lists ... where I need the information for a few days or weeks, but then I want it gone without having to manually decide which messages are old enough to delete. This has been demonstrated as a needed feature by the number of people who use the AppleScript for awhile (until it becomes too much of a bother). On another note, someone asked about the stability of PowerMail with a LOT of messages. My message count today is 34,000 total, and my PowerMail (OS X) crashes about once per week while indexing messages. I just restart the application and it works for another week or so. Generally, it doesn't happen while I'm typing (lucky for me). Carl Ketterling Thursby Software Systems, Inc.
