Problems with junk mail deletion

[atavus]

Can someone tell me where I find the control that enables me to specify deletion of junk mail after a set time? I know that I had this function set up some time back - but it seems to have got lost in use. I've tried everything I know to find the box that I used back then to specify "delete after one day" - but I just can't locate it. Even on Mail Help, I can see that determining the deletion time is one of the options available - but I can't get to it! I've tried everything. (I'm using Mail 8.2, by the way.) From Mail itself, it's not in the drop boxes; and it's not in Mail Preferences - and it isn't even in junk filtering.

In the mail Settings/Prefs do the following.

• Click on the Accounts on top.
• Click on your email acount in the list on the left.
• On the right side click on Mailbox Behaviors.

You will see the setting that you are looking for,
