Is there a way to configure Outlook Express to automatically delete messages
older than 60 days?

No. You can create a message rule, but you would have to apply it manually.

IMHO, it is just as easy to click on the newest message you want to delete,
scroll down to the last and hold the Shift key while you click on it. All
messages in that range will be highlighted and Delete will remove them all.

True, but the message headers remain.

Are you sure?

Help for this option *Delete News Messages* on this computer reads..........

"Specifies whether Outlook Express should delete all newsgroup messages from
your computer after they have been on your computer longer than the
specified number of days."

Pretty sure. At least that is what I've been told. I just set it for 1 day
in another account, so I won't know for sure until tomorrow.

The help section does say messages, but not message headers. I'll know in 24
hours.
