Tom,
I believe that you are confused by this thread. I understand the
concept of moving items between mailboxes and such and the idea of
selecting all messages in a specific mailbox as a way to delete
them. What we are speaking of here is the "Erase Deleted Messages"
menu item under the MailBox menu. This menu item has a keyboard
shortcut of cmd+k as well. When you attempt to use the cmd+k method,
which of course has the fewest key strokes, you get the issue we were
speaking of. It says "Dialog for InBox, Messages Table" or something
very similar. It appears to stay locked in this screen until you do
something that redraws the window or VO is turned off and on again.
Closing the InBox and re-opening it seems to be one method that works
to remedy this.
Later...
