Hi Keith, Thanks for your information. I hide the deleting lines on inbox to allow more readable space on the screen avoiding moving the scroll bar or the wheel mouse. Occasionally I refer to the Trash either for email address or for some overlook/missing data. On other email application I did the same. In order not to keep too many deleted emails in the Trash box I will remove part of them periodically, Thanks Stephen On Fri, 2002-10-18 at 21:36, Keith Winston wrote: > On Fri, 2002-10-18 at 07:19, Stephen Liu wrote: > > Hi All Folks, > > > > Kindly advise how to delete selected messages in Trash box, not to empty > > the whole box.
