I am back to using PowerMail for my mac.com email under Lion. I can have Apple Mail off pretty much most of the time but have to check an Exchange server on one account occasionally. (I could never make the Exchange server work with PowerMail and get so few messages there, I gave up.)
So, all my old Mail messages came into the inbox but how do I delete them? I tried and they are now grey but still there. I moved them to the appropriate folder first so there is an accesible version. Midi CTM caused electrons to hula in cyberspace with: >Peter Lovell was suggesting (POP3 over IMAP): > - setup the account as IMAP > - Once connected, copy all remote messages waiting to a local folder >(with a name such as "Local INBOX) and then delete them from the IMAP4 server > - Reply and process messages in the Local INBOX as if it had come over >POP3; apply filters to them with the contextual menu.
