Thank you, Tim, for your reply. I have only one active e mail account: the Verizon POP account I mentioned. I can't find the "remove now" button you mentioned in the Mail App's screen. If I look at the index of apps, select Mail, and press "Command-I" for information, I'm not seeing this button. If I open Apple Mail and go to the "Mailbox" menu, there is a menu setting with a submenu called "Erase Deleted Items," but that's not the one you mean, right?
