Deleting a message means that it's marked as deleted and doesn't show anymore (unless you choose Folder -> Browse deleted messages) even when a message shows in trash, it's still present in the original folder. Same thing goes for messages that are moved to another folder, they're still present in the original folder, just marked as read. It stays like this until you compress the folder. That's a reason why we advise to compress all folders on exit (or at least regularly) Deleted attachments are handled the same way, they're merely marked as deleted, but they won't show when you browse deleted messages. They'll be removed when you compress the folder. -- Groetjes, Roelof Women, like rabbits, will hop into bed at night. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 4.0.34.16 (ALPHA) Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 3 pop3 accounts OTFE enabled Quad Core 2.4GHz 4 GB RAM
