[iBook] Question about Apple Mail

[danielists at mac.com]

Eric,

You can try forwarding your mail within Apple Mail. Simply create a  
rule that says that any message sent to your .mac address should go  
into a specified folder you've created on your Mac. once you set up  
the rule, it will start applying every time you check your mail. I do  
this for lists with an alias from .mac so that they don't clutter my  
inbox. I have a specifed "Lists" folder which lets me know when I  
have new mail (the numbers next to the folder name) and thus I can  
browse them when I want to, without using any space in .mac.

Hope this helps.

Dan.

That's right, but, it doesn't allow the option to automatically
delete messages retrieved to my computer from the .Mac account. Any
idea how to do that?
