Randall,

Thanks for the suggestions.

So, getting the idea that one virtual mailbox can do the work of several 
individuals (per source), right?

My needs are far simpler for the moment.

Originally was trying to replicate the functions in Mail.app to move 
junk to a Delete folder per account and to erase the delete folder in 
each source account after a shorter time variable in nature per source. 
Mail does this per mailbox.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
