When ever I check my e-mail evolution purges my trash folder, that's fine. But there about 100 messages there that I can't delete. I click on them and choose delete but the highlight just drops the the next line and the messages remains. -- Poneyboy Gregory D. Watts 931-498-4341\Cell 931-260-0414 http://www.tasana.biz

Well got it done, there was no action option on the menu bar but under FILE>EMPTY TRASH is where I found it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction -- Poneyboy Gregory D. Watts 931-498-4341\Cell 931-260-0414 http://www.tasana.biz

You can set Evolution to empty the trash on exit, look at your preferences.
