Bob, Did you mark those email to move them to the trash? If so, then I'm extremely surprised it ONLY took 24 minutes. *laugh* If you did, then remember that it is a whole lot faster to just delete every message after it has been read rather than marking them and waiting 3 years for them to move. But 8 minutes to empty the trash? Well, I just backed up my database which had 950 in the db and was sluggish beyond belief, and deleting email only took me 4 minutes at the most. You must have one big db lol. But then again, other members on this list have said that deleting individual msgs sometimes takes 10 seconds, a problem which has never happened with me. Laura
