This will stop SM from "purging" the mailbox when you select it (and after deleting emails). It does, however, give the users the ability to hit the button to "purge". You can always address that issue with a minor code change (see lines 748-751 in functions/mailbox_display.php). - -- Jonathan Angliss <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) iD8DBQFFqzWqK4PoFPj9H3MRAlQOAJ9x5z74CrX9Aw5Ouwqp3nAGV4uMZwCdFswQ tkpsLwesuooigAdzBNOTZEw= =u0n9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
