If you use gmail/IMAP with TB and delete a message from inbox or a
folder, it will still be inthe "all mail" folder in gmail. You can
subscribe (it's the default) to all gmail folders and retrieve an
accidentally deleted message that way. Alternatively, you can just ask
TB to show "unread only" and then not worry.

If someone is concerned about disk space, you can right-click the folder
in TB, choose properties adn then the "retention policies" tab. Set TB
to delete messages after 30 days. As I said above, they will still be in
teh "all mail" folder in gmail so you can get them there. I set TB to
unsubscribe all the "gmail" folders so I'm not cluttering my disk.

Agent in general or the red/black for unread/read messages? I thinkt the
red/black was Agent's default but they're unter Tools/options/Colors


You may have already read this but I'll paste it back. These are the steps
I used to set up Agent 4.2

I signed up to the google group with a gmail account so had to forward the
emails to my pop3 address after I decided to try Agent. I created a
secondary email address for Verizon and set gmail (and the Yankees
googlegroup preferences) to forward email to that. I think you could
bypass the extra steps using gmail and just use a
pop3 address to sign up with as long as you set the group option to send
replies as emails. Some people reported they weren't seeing their own
replies in Agent but I do so I'm not sure what causes that. It could be the
extra forwarding.

I added the verizon email address and persona to Agent. Tools/Server and
accounts to add the email account and Tools/options/personas for editing the
persona.
Next created a folder in Agent named Yankees_googlegroup and dragged it
right above this group on my list of usenet groups. Went to the folder
properties and set it to use the new verizon persona (email address) to
reply to emails and use that folder for the default save location. Otherwise
they'll default to going to your inbox. All the email posts appear in Red
and responses are threaded. When I read them they turn black.
The only thing different than usenet is the emails come in slower and
rather than purging for newsgroups I have to use the delete function in
Agent for emails. That and, as far as I can tell, I can't force Agent to
re-download old emails like you could with newsgroup posts.

Most of this was fairly easy if you know your way around Agent. Since I
don't use it for email much, I had to figure it out on the fly. Other
than that I only had to ask in the Agent newsgroup how to make emails add a
person's name or address to the quoted text when replying. Agent does that
by default for newsgroups but in email it defaults to "You wrote:" instead
of "(name) wrote:"
