Yes, I have tried it that way as well and it did not work. However, I want to be able to delete messages older than a certain date via Maintenance. I don't want it to do it every time I close TB. >> Setting this to default and the running purge and compress via that >> Maintenance tool still says that it has nothing to do, even though it >> should delete about 3 months of messages.

I will have to experiment. I finally gave up and deleted the messages manually. Does it use the created date or the received date? Restoring a backup changes the dates of the messages? How can this be? How would you know when they were really created? Perhaps I misunderstand. Thanks again for your replies. I really appreciate it! -- Cheers!
