Re: Is There an INSTANT KILL for Unwanted E-mails?

TKS, Peter. I'm leery of anything involving the words 'set up' because I'd
have to "do something" to my Outlook, which downloads all mail automatically.
But if I understand your solution, I would achieve same effect by first
opening gmail, marking for deletion the headers displayed there, and then
opening Outlook so as to auto-download the survivors. Come to think of it,
that's what I'll do if ever I get around to checking e-mail when traveling.

The way I go about it is that I have Outlook set up to download headers only. When
all emails download I select Delete All and before I hit Send Receive I unmark the
emails that I plan to keep from deletion. Then Send Receive and I got only the
emails that I selected. All the rest are deleted at the Server end

I sometimes think Outlook 2003 (which I'm using w/XP Home) was designed by
the Collyer Brothers--it can't bear to throw anything out. I get tons of
stuff that I'd like to kill on sight, unopened and without going to the
Delete File, as soon as it appears. SHIFT+DELETE is good for individual
messages--and for multiples IF they are contiguous. That is, if they all
appear in a row. Since they seldom do, I resort to CTRL+DELETE, but that
sends the stuff to the Delete File AND sometimes causes all items selected to
open.

So, I want top 'shoot on sight.' Anyone got solutions?
