That is the right behavior, but I don't want it to be global.  It is an
option available on a per-message basis.

I do use this for the trash folder.  It is additional folders I am looking
to purge.

That option occurred to me, but once the message is read, it is still
colored, yes?  In Entourage I have unread messages displayed as bold and
blue.  Read messages are normal and black.

As long as PM is open, it is running its schedules.  This option suspends
schedules temporarily, as opposed to quitting.  An option I rarely use, so I
could definitely live without it.  For example, when on a network without
internet access, you can have access to mail messages without annoying
alerts.
