I have the Bcc option on, so everything I send gets Bcc-ed to an email. I was just wondering if there was a way to have that Bcc email be automatically deleted from the Sent folder, after it was sent?

More information is needed. When you send a message with a BCC, there is no additional message in your sent folder, just the one copy. Please share more on your objective, as I may be misunderstanding.

oh dear I seem to have confused Bcc with Automatic forwarding; so I guess what I meant to ask was, is there a way to delete the e-mail address I have auto forwarding to, after its been sent?

I.E. I received an a new e-mail, auto forwarding sends it to backup@email, have backup@email be automatically deleted from the Sent box folder?

Well,I'm not aware of such a feature, but you could periodically do search for the address in sent folder and delete them.

hmm, in that case is there a feature that can automatically delete everything in the Sent folder, after a set period of time?

No, that is not a feature. However, if your intent is to not keep messages in Sent folder, just untick that feature in accountsetting.

Thanks, but I been looking at the Message Filters and was wondering if there was a way to set up a Filter that can automatically MOVE an email from the Sent folder to Trash? Or do Filters only work for the Inbox? ergo incoming mail, not outgoing?

Yes, that would work. It would be a filter you manually run,.
