My old AOL 8.0 still has all my sent mail even if I did not save it to a folder (Mail sent from 20 July 2001 to March 23 2005). Maybe for safety sake I should put all that mail in folders (Oh, please tell me I do not need to do that!) What is the length of time mail in 9.0 will stay under "Mail You've Sent" before AOL deletes it? That is when I first noticed this also---when I upgraded to AOL 9.0. I think for safety's sake putting your saved mail in folders you created would be wise. Joan
