I was just wondering if there is a way, using the AutoArchive feature to automatically delete old e-mail, to set AutoArchive so that it deletes only certain old messages in a folder but keeps the rest? Also, how does one set up AutoArchive so that it only deletes messages in certain folders but not others?

Rules Wizard is correct here are the specifics.
Open Organizer, choose Rules Wizard. NEW.
Follow the following steps:
1. Check messages when they arrive
2. From people or distribution list
choose the names (people or addresses that belong in the folders you want to delete)
3. move to the specified folder
choose the deleted items folder
4. except if received in a specific time span
choose the earliest date you want to delete (example January 1, 2000) you can type the date overthe default date, you do not have to scroll to that date.
5. choose Run this rule now on messages already in Inbox and turn on this rule.
