I use Outlook Express which is laid out as Jim described.  Everything I
delete goes to the Deleted Items box and is gone forever when I close OE.
Anything I want to save I drag-drop to one of the folders I've created.  I
like to keep the Inbox relatively clean.  I tend to forget to clean out my
Sent box.  I'd like to have a default that keeps a copy of everything I've
sent EXCEPT those sent to CHAT.  If I need to see one of those I can always
go to hort.net to find it.  There's currently 400 in my Sent box, but some I
do need to keep.  Makes deleting just a bit more difficult.
