See, what I am afraid of is that when I mark my mail as as deleted, that it will actually purge the 'deleted' mail and it will be gone for good (not what I want obviously.) My goal is to just remove the inbox label so that the mail is archived. I've been using GMail/Google for Domains for so long that almost all of my mail is already presorted by labels anyway, but there is the odd e-mail here and there that manages to go unlabeled. As it stands, I've just been letting my mail build up in my inbox and every few days, I just go and archive all the read-unstarred mail, but the point is to move away from the web interface as much as possible... -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > GPG: A2A8109A
