I'm having difficulty understanding the exact purpose of "sent-mail"
funcltion.  Why do I need to keep my "sent-mail" ? Just clutters up and I
have to delete them all eventually. Thanks.

	If you'd take the time to go to the setup/config you could
read the following:

         OPTION: Default-FCC (File Carbon Copy)
 
This value specifies where a copy of outgoing mail should be saved.  If
this is not a path name, it will be in the default collection for saves.
Any valid folder specification, local or IMAP, is allowed.  This default
folder carbon copy only applies when the fcc-rule-name (see later in this
configuration screen) is set to use the default folder.  Unix Pine default
is normally "sent-mail" in the default folder collection. PC-Pine
default is "SENTMAIL" (normally stored as SENTMAIL.MTX)
 
To suppress saving of outgoing mail, set: default-fcc=""
 
	It seems to do a credible job of explaining the purpose *and*
telling you how to turn off the feature.

	Amazing what the *help* screens will reveal....

Workaround:  Turn the feature off.
Then you won't have to worry about it.

Many people find it extremely handy to be able to refer to old messages they've
sent, to check to make sure they replied to a message, etc.

You don't.  Just set

	default-fcc

to

	""

in the Setup -> Config screen, and pine will quit saving outgoing email for
you.
