Kevin, I have Outlook set to delete when I exit. It gives me the choice, so I do not do it every time that I exit. I usually wait until the end of the day, and it will clean everything out, zap, in one whack. That setting might do what you need.

I tried looking in the obvious place, the ARCHIVE folder, but they aren't there! It is as if you deleted them instead of archiving. Are the items automatically deleted at a certain point? After all, I've also been told that too much archiving slows down your computer.

That way things don't show up on the main inbox page but I can still refer to them later (admittedly a rare occurrence but it's nice for those rare times I do want something). To archive something just check the box on on the inbox page and then the archive button. If using the standard layout (rather than basic HTML which is what I use) there is even a way to check every item on the page at once and you can then archive them or whatever other action. But the standard interface is something of a pain with jaws. On 12/9/15, Ryan Coverdell <[email protected]> wrote: > Gmail works great with the Pac Mate Omni and my desktop Pc.
