Your email isn't gone until you have expunged it. The Trash folder is actually a vFolder. I thought this was a bit weird at first, but I don't find it a problem. If you don't want to see messages that are marked for deletion in your (real) mail folders you can select View->Hide Deleted Messages. -- David
