Update!
As of Sept 3, 2011, a new deletion policy was put into place. Inbox, Sent and Trash are being deleted after a set amount of time to increase messaging speed and decrease clutter. The timeframes are as follows:

- 30 days after being sent, a message will disappear from the “Sent Items” folder
- 90 days after being received, Inbox and Deleted items will disappear from those boxes
