Is this true with "mail you've sent" as well? In mail preferences I have marked the option to save all sent mail. In the past if I did not want to keep copies of mail I sent I deleted it but all other messages were still listed under mail sent. It seems now mail sent is not kept indefinitely (last message in my PFC under Sent Mail is dated May 31, 2006). I have started saving copies of sent mail I want to keep in a folder. This only began happening when I upgraded from 8.0 to 9.0. 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? Vonda In a message dated 7/13/2006 11:03:55 A.M.

Any mail you specifically delete from the AOL server that you had saved in the default incoming saved mail folder is probably vulnerable to being deleted along with the copy you delete. Seems odd but they started doing this as the result of too many AOLers unknowingly saving all incoming mail and not realizing how much was building up in their PFCs until they had computer problems
