If you set up a schedule to delete older than xxx days, then change date in increments until you get them deleted. Manually, you can select the messages in bunches and use delete. It's best not to let this folder pile up. Use a schedule to delete on a regular basis whether it be daily, weekly or monthly. -- Diane Ross Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://athena.doe.com> Unofficial Outlook Express Page: <http://www.macemail.com/oe/>
