Linda, you do know that you can set your email prefs to delete everything in the delete folder each time you close close your mail client, right? I can't remember which client you use, but I could do that in every mail client I've ever used, so you might want to prowl around in your options menu there and do that. This way, stuff doesn't build up over time and take up space that could be better used (grin).
