Re: Mail Messages won't go away

Ron:

I know I have to remove the messages from the server. My point is that
nothing I do has so far removed them from the server since March. In March I
was OK. After that every message that I've gotten, read from my desktop, and
deleted completely still download from the server to my laptop at the start
of the next session.
I'd like to know how to blast them completely out of the del;eted folder and
server.
Any further suggestions?

Thanks

Vince
