Hi Listers, I'm having some puzzling problems while attempting to delete Claris Emailer downloads from the 280 hard drive. The downloaded files, HTML and others, are stored on the HD under the Claris eMailer Folder. Its always been this way and always worked good. However, when I recently tried to delete the vexing accumulation of HTML files (mostly from Spam) via the standard procedure, i.e., dragging the file and dropping it onto the Trash can, nothing happened...the Trash icon highlights but the can doesn't open up and the file remains on the Finder. Rebuilding the desktop doesn't help. I tried a restart with extensions off but the deletion problems remained. I should emphasize here that its only the Claris Emailer downloads that act this way. Deletion of other apps via the drag/drop method is not affected.
There is a side effect to all this: under the present situation, file deletion attempts (Claris Emailer downloads, only) foul the Finder. As soon as the file is "dropped" on the Trash can, the Finder becomes unresponsive to the mouse and its not possible to quit the application. However, the Finder can be "hidden" and the e-mail functions are normal in that mail can be sent/received. But, alas, to get out of the Finder, its necessary to do a Force Quit which closes the page but also sometimes results in a freeze. Any/all ideas on how to overcome this situation sincerely appreciated. Jack C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
