What I mean is that (with other mailers), I was able to expunge *some* of the trash, and keep others that I didn't want to wipe out immediately. As I understand it (perhaps wrongly) if I select "empty trash", I don't have the choice to save *some messages* which I *don't want to delete immediately*, but which I just want to leave in the trash. ... at least at the time of emptying, hence my statement of "it's all or nothing"... ...er, am i explaining myself properly? Perhaps I'll figure it out, so please bear with me (unbearable as I may be!). (I've been painting the apartment: maybe the fumes are getting to my brains ... what little of it there is! <*chuckle*>). Perhaps I could do "show deleted" and thus "recover" those (which I don't want to really expunge at the moment, before I "clean the trash". (But then I'll have to 'mark them as deleted again'). Oh well, "Man findet immer ein Ausweg" as my friends in Europe say. Does this sound right? Thanks, Elton ;-)
