Computer Email Question--help!

11-13-2006, 09:12 AM

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email client. When I delete emails they go into my trash folder as is usual. When I turn off the computer, turn it on the next day and click "get mail" it brings back every email I mass deleted the day before. This only happens when I delete a whole bunch of emails at one time. So this morning I received 324 emails and 314 I had deleted last night. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

hmmm...

have you compacted your trash folder lately?

and do you empty your trash after you mass delete?

No and no. Should I be? I just leave it there in case I need it later but still want it out of my inbox. Sometimes I get a bit trash-happy.

welllllllllll.........seeing as how I just deleted over 1500 hundred items from my sent folder, I can't preach too hard. But yes.

You can create a 'storage' folder for the ones you'll need later, and move them to that...
