Well, we don't know exactly how they programmed "0 days". but that might be the cause of having some items left behind using your regular Empty Deleted Items schedule when deleting masses of messages. But I suspect it may be something else: it could be some sort of "too full to deal with all this" feature. Instead of freezing or erroring for lack of memory, Entourage may have a sort of "anteroom" where some messages wait their turn while others get deleted. I have seen it apparently empty the whole trash of several thousand messages (it looks empty at the end) only to find more of them there when re-launch Entourage the next time. It's not really a big issue, is it? I think it probably protects against failure when there are too many to handle all it once. Perhaps a developer knows more... -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
