You may need to contact your service provider instead. On squirrel mail you may see timeouts if you have the system set to move the emails to the trash folder and then purge them. If this is the issue you are seeing (and not as Paul suggested, you aren't really using SM at all) then go into Options->Folder Preferences and in the Trash Folder drop down select 'Do not use Trash' Submit your changes and then do your deletes. Do note that when set like this there is NO UNDO. After you've cleaned things out, go back and rest it. Hope this Helps. ------ William R.
