I'll try again... because this really is the answer you are looking for. You can delete emails without looking at them in Netscape, but first you must change the frames, or panels, and how they are displayed. First a little background. When on messenger you can have up to three panels (or frames) showing. If all three are showing, the left hand one shows all of the file folders that the emails are located in. You cannot select an email from the left hand frame, only a file folder. Moving to the right you probably have two frames, one over the other. The upper one will be the emails in the file folder, and the frame beneath is where you view the selected email (whichever one is selected in the above frame). When you click and highlight an email in the top frame it is displayed in the bottom frame.
OK, to make it so the email is not displayed (opened) when it is simply highlighted you need to get rid of the bottom view frame so you only have the top frame where you can select emails, and possibly the left frame where you select file folders from (this can be hidden too). To get rid of the bottom (view) frame, click on the center portion of the dividing bar between the upper and lower frames that has the little up/down arrows on it. This will make the upper frame extend all of the way to the bottom and there will be no view frame beneath. Netscape now acts a little differently; you must double click on an email in order to open and view it. If you click on it once it will be highlighted but it will not open. Then you can delete it. To return back to having upper and lower frames just click on the center of the dividing bar again. Ron KC7ZWA Roseburg OR Marshall Dudley wrote: > > Thanks, but not really.
