A lot of software clearly has such decisions made by somebody other than the end user. Most of it is far less user-configurable than TB!. Anyway, I see nothing wrong with email software encouraging people to use it in a way that reduces chances of messagebase corruption - so long as you still *can* use it the way you choose. You can set that folder at the account settings. When you set a specific deletion folder for all folders, then the account specific folder is for the inbox... But then (as far as I can see) the settings would become the default for all your folders--wouldn't they? So I'd have to go into every other folder, turn off the default, and remember to do the same whenever I created a new folder. Yes, if you wanted the rest of your folders to have different deletion settings than the Inbox. -- Best regards MFPA If you save the world too often, it begins to expect it Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
