I know what you're talking about. I tried to get rid of a bunch of them once and couldn't do it. I think it's only the ones in the Microsoft email programs, though -- you can permanently get rid of the Eudora ones for example. Also, even the MS emails don't survive a disk format. Another exception: I had some particularly valuable emails saved in a folder and one day I tried to transfer them to a different folder (I was using Outlook Express). I did something wrong and they vanished -- poof! The only time I've been able to do that!! THAT is Microsoft for you! wily

hi art, i don't use eudora pro, but i went to www.eudora.com and started checking out their knowledge base under tech help. you're bound to either find the very same question has already been asked, or you can post your own message or ask a tech yourself. (i'm not certain if you can ask a tech, as i did not investigate their site further. that's your job!) anyway, here is a link to a similar topic eudora.com and their website eudora.com where you can click on tech support and do a search . i'd try searching for how to recover deleted email, cause that'll tell you if it's still around. but i think that the first link i gave you mentions that if you leave the mail on the server, the server deletes it. hope this helps, mark

Eudora Email - Deleting Old Messages Hi, I use Eudora Pro myself, and as you know, when you delete a message from your Inbox, it's immediately transferred to your Trash mailbox. You can switch to that one pretty easily to see what's in it. To delete the contents, click on Special in the menu bar, and then Empty Trash. The contents of the trash mailbox are kept tracked of using two files: trash.mbx, and trash.toc (Both located in your Eudora install directory). As your mailbox grows, so does both files. When you 'Empty Trash', these files shrink in way. As far as I know, and Eudora's web site might contradict me, once you empty the trash mailbox, they're as good as gone. Cheers, Richard
