Quoting Edward Dyer <aa146@chebucto.ns.ca>:

Hey ... just came by webmail hoping for this.

No doubt.
This really is a serious outage for me. I was actually going to  
telephone the office!

Absolutely.
I think, best case, notification would have been sent out with info  
about changes to configuration, but ... horse out of the barn and all  
that.

Okie dokie ... very bizarre Delete functionality.
Click boxes to select ... one mis-stroke and all the check marks  
disappear. Have to hit Delete to make them stick.

Click a box to select, hit Delete ... uncheck, hit Delete, message is  
still marked <strike>.
Years / decades ago I did a comprehensive survey of this sort of  
platform I found 0.00 worth the effort, though some are //not quite as  
terrible as the others//.

(WordPress as CMS is the closest I came to success.)

Gotcha.

I have an IMAP configuration sitting in T'Bird ... back when  
netscape.net had EMail service.

Yup, as reported.

Oh for heaven sake.
Good thing they don't have "Purge" right beside "Delete"; we might  
accidentally do the right thing intuitively!
;-p

That sort of design decision makes me crazy.
If they were that stunned on such a simple thing, what else did they frab?

But thanks.
Done.

> I'm not sure whether you need to purge before moving on to another page.
If ever I use that function I'll let you know ... if I remember.

> See if this gets you started.
Just what the doctor ordered, Ed. I appreciate your attention and good effort.

continued success!
