Right, that used to work (in Entourage 2001) and does not work any more. I believe that has to do with the way the user interface is handled at the OS level. But regardless of the reason, there _is_ a way to quickly delete a lot of messages. It just isn't the particular way you used to do it. So stop complaining "it hurts when I do this" and don't do it; do it the way that is now provided. This isn't a bug; it is a change in the user interface. It wasn't made capriciously or to bug users. It was either foist upon the programmers by the OS or chosen for good reasons to avoid potential problems in OS X. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://members.thinkaccess.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
