A lot of newer email programs have filters that can sort mail for you.

Microsoft actually came late to the game. And, unfortunately, most mail

programs save messages on a file-per-file basis. There should be nonetheless be

a setting so that a deleted message is actually deleted.



This message, by the way, is coming from BeyondMail, the mail program that

invented filtering. When I delete a message, it stays deleted.

i recently got a "low hard drive message" from the 

computer, so i was looking around on that drive,

and i found Microsoft's Internet mail creates a file(.mbx)

which stores old mail. the program automatically creates

1 file for each folder. deleting them gave me 112 megabytes.



i really like the program for reading Miata mail from the list. 

dividing personnel and list mail can easily be done with the 

inbox assistant.
