All you have to do is select them and hit delete. You may get a menu asking you to confirm the deletion and it may take a while for them to disappear if you're deleting a lot of messages &/or youg computer is slow, but they SHOULD delete, which puts them in the Trash folder (there's a way to wipe them directly but I don't recall the command for it) so you'll have to do it again from there (the Trash folder). You can also right click on the selected messages and select delete from the pop-up menu. If it doesn't respond, do it again - until it does what you're telling it to do. After you do this, it's a good idea to compress your folders, because otherwise the deleted messages are still taking up space in your message data base. -- Douglas ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
