Deleting messages
You can delete one or more e-mail messages from any folder. For example, you can
delete old messages in the Inbox or messages that you were working on in the
Drafts folder. When you delete a message, it is placed in the Trash folder. See
“Emptying the trash” later in this chapter.
To delete messages on the server when you empty the trash on your handheld, you
can select the Delete Msgs on Server setting in VersaMail Preferences. If you don’t
periodically empty the trash and delete messages on the server, any incoming e-
mail may “bounce” back to the sender. See
“Setting preferences for getting and
deleting e-mail” later in this chapter.
