Marta My mail all deletes to the trash. I then just hit apple key and K or get rid of it.

When I press 'delete'in an email message from the inbox. it automatically goes into trash, either into my mac.com, or insight.com or on my mac trash bin( albeit in the same trash can). Is this the normal way - from in to trash via delete? then if I want to delete my trash I can do so from the trash box proper. All my other extra mailboxes will delete directly when I press delete. Is this a safety measure ? I can, however, delete directly from the inbox by pressing "cut" from my menu bar, then the mail diappears immediately, never to be seen again. Is this the way it works by default? I don't remember ever having set the inbox to delete into trash first before I can delete it permanantly from the trash can.
