Transferring Messages

 

 

You must perform two steps to remove a message from your computer: first mark it for deletion, then remove marked messages.

To mark for deletion a message stored in an IMAP mailbox or folder, do the following.

1Click to select the message.

2From the Message menu, choose Delete. Notice that the message has a red X in the server status column.

To unmark the message for deletion, click to select it. Then from the Message menu, choose UnDelete.

To remove all messages marked for deletion in the current IMAP mailbox, choose Remove Deleted Messages. The messages are completely removed not only from your PC but also from the IMAP server.

Important. Once you remove marked messages using the “Remove Deleted Messages” command, these messages are gone and cannot be restored; so use this command with caution.

Automatically Deleting Attachments

When you delete messages, you can have their attachments automatically deleted. To do this, select the “Delete attachments when emptying Trash” in the Attachments options windows. To do this, be sure the attachments are still in the Attach Directory or the direc- tory you have specified for attachments. If you have this option selected, and want to delete a message but save its attachment, move the attachment into another directory before deleting the message. See “Attachments” on page 207. Click the page number to display the topic.

Transferring Messages

You can transfer messages to any of your mailboxes. There are several ways to do this.

Click to select the message(s) you want to transfer, then choose a mailbox from the Transfer menu.

Click to select the message(s) you want to transfer, then right-click on the selection and choose a mailbox from the Transfer drop-down menu.

Drag a message summary to an open mailbox window or to a mailbox icon in the Mail- boxes window.

To put a copy of a message in another mailbox instead of transferring the message, hold down the Shift key and use one of the transfer options above. This is useful if you want to file a message in more than one mailbox.

If you try to transfer a message to the Out mailbox, an alert appears informing you that some header information may be removed from the message during transfer. Click Yes to transfer the message.

Important. Don’t forget to clean out your Out mailbox once in awhile to increase your system performance.
