Hi, That should be the one to clean out your trash in mail.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Craig Werner Sent: Tuesday, 28 May 2019 3:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Question about Deleting Trash from a POP3 Mail Folder Thank you, Tim, for your reply. I have only one active e mail account: the Verizon POP account I mentioned. I can't find the "remove now" button you mentioned in the Mail App's screen. If I look at the index of apps, select Mail, and press "Command-I" for information, I'm not seeing this button. If I open Apple Mail and go to the "Mailbox" menu, there is a menu setting with a submenu called "Erase Deleted Items," but that's not the one you mean, right? Thanks.
