2 Questions, "read" messages and deleting messages

[Guest]

I am coming to Windows Mail/Vista from Pegasus Mail/XP and find a couple of
functions missing.

Q1. Is there any way to indicate in the list of messages, whether we have
replied to a message? I would like a flag to appear automagically when I
have replied to a message.

Q2. Is there any way to set a mail folder to automatically delete messages
after a set period of time? E.G. Inbox messages delete after 90 days,
Sent items delete after 60 days, other folders delete after a given time and
other folders never delete.

Thanks

Tony

I am an OE user.
Doesn't WinMail put a purple arrow on the envelope icon when you reply to a
message?
In OE Help, icons, message list icons

Q1. It's automatic. The icon changes if you have replied. (little purple
arrow)
Q2. No. You could make a message rule and apply it manually.

Could they have made it any more obscure?
I never noticed the little purple arrow before, and I still
have trouble seeing it on my laptop screen.

You are right. I never noticed that. I was looking in the flag column
for some indication there :-{

Q2. No. You could make a message rule and apply it manually.

Maybe if a developer is listening they might add a few "date" options in the
message rules conditions.


Thanks to all for the help
