Organizing Your Messages
Deleting a Message
As a safeguard against inadvertent deletions, two steps are used to delete a message
from your computer: first put the message in the Trash, then empty the Trash. If your
incoming mail server uses IMAP, the procedure is slightly different, as described later.
POP Procedure
To put a message in the Trash, do the following.
1 Click to select the message.
2 From the Message menu, choose Delete, or from the Transfer menu, choose Trash.
Also, you can just press the Delete key or click the Delete toolbar button. The message
is transferred to the Trash mailbox.
Note. To cancel a deletion to the Trash, from the Edit menu, choose Undo.
To delete the messages in the Trash mailbox (that is, remove them permanently from your
PC), do the following.
■ From the Special menu, choose Empty Trash. Or, if the Mailboxes window is open on
your desktop, right-click on the Trash mailbox in the window and choose Empty Trash
from the drop-down menu.
You can set up Eudora to warn you if you try to delete unread, queued, or unsent
messages. To do this, use the Extra Warnings options windows to select those options.
See “Extra Warnings” on page 225. Click the page number to display the topic.
Quitting Eudora empties the contents of the Trash mailbox when the “Empty Trash when
exiting” option in the Miscellaneous options is selected. See “Miscellaneous” on page 231.
Click the page number to display the topic.
Finally, if you want to delete just a few messages from the Trash mailbox, open the Trash
mailbox, and do the following.
1 Click to select the desired messages.
2 From the Message menu, choose Delete, or press the Delete key. Deleting a message
from the Trash removes it completely.
IMAP Procedure
If you have the When I delete a message, move it to Trash option turned off in the
Incoming Mail options window (see “Incoming Mail” on page 200; click the page number to
display the topic), all new messages are delivered to your IMAP server and are kept there
until you actively delete them.
