[Macpartners] Email question

	I'm using MAIL on the MAC for email.  It is set up such that 
the mailboxes on the MAC mirror the mailboxes on the MIT server.  I 
have been receiving warnings from MIT that I'm about to exceed my 
quota.  After deleting my trash and spamscreen, I'm still getting 
warnings.  I then realized that the MIT server mirrors my SENT 
mailbox, which I had no intention of deleting since it would 
naturally grow without bound until the end of time:  thus the 
problem.  However, I don't need MIT to save those SENT messages.  I 
only want them saved on my MAC.  I went into 
MAC:MAIL:Preferences:Accounts:Mailbox Behaviors and unchecked the box 
titled "store sent messages on the server."  Voila, they all 
disappeared from WEBMAIL.  BooHoo, they also all disappeared from my 
MAC.  Solution?
