I think 9.0 SE should work the same as this: Click on MAIL in the AOL menu and select MAIL SETTINGS. Uncheck the box that retain all mail I read in my sent mail folder.

All of my emails get saved to my PC and I spend hours deleting them. It appears that even the emails I delete from AOL get saved into the PC cabinet. There has to be setting to change this.
