This subject of where to save email and AOL deleting saved mail keeps coming up and I am still not clear about this. Does this just happen on AOL 9.0? The default folder is the filing cabinet? So how do I get another folder to save my mail? And would that mean I am saving on my computer rather than on AOL? (Hoping that this time I will finally "get" this) Thanks Judy In a message dated 4/1/2006 9:17:16 PM Eastern Standard Time, JYoung6180@aol.com writes: > Sooner or later you are going to get stung by AOL's penchant for deleting > the saved mail when you delete the already read mail from the inbox/old mail > > folder.
