Deleting Old E-mail Items from Your Outlook Express Folder

[Penn]

I don't know how many of you already knew of this keyboard combination, but:


Deleting.

Here is a nice little trick I recently learned.

Highlight the first E-mail that you want to delete, and then hold down the Control key and continue to highlight the ones you are going to delete. When you reach the end of the ones you want to delete, release the Control key and hit the delete button. Works good, and thanks to my teacher.

Thanks, but already knew that one.

I'm a little slow at these things, and someone just pointed this trick out to me, so I thought I'd pass it on.

You just learned that???!!!

Well, here's another tip, then: If you want to select a block of emails to delete, select the first one on the list, then hit Shift, then the last one. It highlights all emails between the first one and last one highlighted, then you can move them or delete them or do what you want.

Oh, and Penn? That thingy isn't a cup holder. Just an FYI.

Merry Christmas, Penn!

Thank You Crabby!

Vrai, I told you long ago that I was a newby on a PC. I've only owned this one for 2 1/2 yrs, and probably know only 30% of what it can do. I'm getting there, but s-l-o-w-l-y!

Hell, I'm STILL meeting people that have never owned a PC, and they REFUSE to as well!

UFB!

Thank You Vrai, Merry Christmas to you as well.
