How do you automatically delete Junk Mail after a certain period of time?

I recently began getting junk mail after being junk mail free for quite a while with my current email account. Now, I have Jaguar with the Junk Mail feature, and after about a week in "training" mode, I've set it to automatic. But is it possible to make Mail empty my Junk Mail folder every so often, or have it delete any message more than a week old in my Junk folder? I like that it filters the spam out, and it's very accurate, but I wish it would allow me to have it automatically delete junk. Otherwise I have to go in myself and delete it, which is almost as much of a hassle as sorting through it in the first place.

    Oh so helpful, Defiant.



    Anyway, what you have to do is go to Preferences and edit your account. Go to Special Mailboxes and select Delete junk messages when: one day old / one week old / one month old / etc...
