Have You Deleted ALL Your Mail?
Many people are good about deleting a message when they have finished reading it. But did you know that that message isn't actually deleted? When you select a message inside your inbox and delete it, it actually gets sent to a trash folder. This folder needs to be emptied every once in a while. To empty this folder, open Netscape Messenger. Then select File on the toolbar and go down to Empty Trash Folder. This will empty your trash folder.
There is another place that needs to be emptied called your Sent folder. Whenever you send someone a message, that message gets saved in your Sent folder. To empty this folder, open Netscape Messenger. Then, in the toolbar, there is a dropdown box that says Inbox. Click on the down arrow and scroll until you see the folder called Sent. Select this folder. Then select the first message in that folder. Then go up to Edit in your toolbar and go to "Select," then to All Messages. All the messages should be highlighted. Then click on the Delete button on the toolbar. This will delete all your messages in the Sent folder. To delete only one message, select that message click on Delete. If you would like to delete a few messages, select the first message you would like to delete, then hold down Ctrl and select the next message. Continue holding down Ctrl and selecting messages until all the messages you would like deleted are selected. Then click Delete.
