Index of Subjects Hi Andrew, Fine. But how do I delete all the e-mails on my Webmail inbox without deleting them in 10/4/bird ? In other words, once I have downloaded them to 10/4/bird inbox i don't really need them in Webmail Inbox. Eventually Webmail Inbox is going to be blocked. I generally look at the e-mail on Webmail inbox to decide whether or not it should be deleted before getting to 10/4/bird. I think this is taking up to much of your time. I would once again like to thank you for your assistance. It is appreciated. M On 29/07/12 11:58 PM, Andrew D. Wright wrote: > > Hi Malcolm.
