Until maybe September or the first part of October, I had AOL 8.0. At that time I decided to download 9.0. Is this one of the differences in the two programs? If it is, I'm deleting 9.0 and going back to 8.0. --- I never had this happen until upgrading to 9.0--but the work-around (since there are so many useful enhancements in 9.0 over 8.0) is to merely store your saved mail in a folder other than the default NEW SAVED MAIL folder. That seems to be the only folder they will delete mail from. Joan
