Folks, Further to the exchange below ====== and several constructive response emails from the group, (Thank you.) I switched from Entourage to Apple mail and bingo, problem solved.
However, While I still wish to keep Microsoft office 2004 I have been unable to find a way of uninstalling Entourage on it's own, any advice? Thanks, Steve. ================== I have been using this account and address for some time on my Apple Mac via Microsoft's Entourage email client. I recently switched to Apples mail client and all still works well EXCEPT that I keep getting repeat email messages the day after I heave read and deleted them from the Apple client. I just went on line and checked my BT Yahoo inbox and old messages are still in there, it would appear that deleting them from my Apple mail account does not delete them from the BT in box like it did when I was using Entourage. How canI fix this? Thank you.
