Tip For Apple Mail Users, Time To Trim The Trash
Hi! So your trash is getting rather large? Can do away with all those eMails you received from eMail lists you once subscribed to? Dread the thought of tidying your Trash Box because you have thousands upon thousands of eMails to sort? Perhaps some simple rules can do the job for you, I've been using this approach over the last couple of weeks. So you find an eMail which relates to a few hundred you've say received over a period of time from a list, select it from your Trash Box, press command-, to go into Mail preferences, select Rules and click on Add Rule. Here type a description appropriate to what you plan to do, say Delete Mac-Access and then proceed to Conditions, make sure that any of the following conditions are met is select and select Any Recipient, by default the From field here should automatically show the list of eMail messages from the old list you're planning to purge from your system. From here move to Actions and select Delete Message. Press Apply and Mail will then prompt, Apply rule, answer Yes and all eMail corresponding to the rule you just created will be moved permanently from your Trash Box. All you have to do now is to remove the rule you just created and repeat the whole process again for eMail you want deleted from all those old eMail lists you're no longer a member of. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Another way to avoid this is to simply configure the mail program to empty the trash folder when you close it. That way you never have to worry about messages building up. Original message: Hi!

Re: Tip For Apple Mail Users, Time To Trim The Trash
There are problems doing things that way, for example messages you may want to keep will be deleted, those lists you're on will have their mail erased after a period of time whereas with the rule method I described only the messages you don't want are erased in other words you control what you keep and what you don't.

Re: Tip For Apple Mail Users, Time To Trim The Trash
Why not just filter out in the search filed or create a smart mail box, then after that, to do the job for you? I have several to sort messages by date and show me from what month to what month so I can perge and when I deere it removes them from the folder(s) I have my smart mail box is monitoring. Easier then your method and less time consuming. the search field is also pretty useful as well. Just search for wha thou want, then cmd vo t twice to the table, select all and hit del. Tc.
