Dear Laura and Maria, Very nice. I just completed the process, and eliminated at least 60 ghost emails. It is nice to know that you can clean out dead woog from the BN, when the BN does not do this..
Thank you.

Navigate to the date index field, which is the ninth field, and press >>enter. After a few seconds, you will be placed at the top of the database >>selection list by date index, so you will see something like Thursday, >>December 23, 2004.
