Deleting mail??

topic posted Thu, May 8, 2008 - 6:37 PM by  invisible
I recently trashed many emails from my mac mail (at least thought i had). Still showing that i have 4,000 mails in my in box, but doesn't seem to be that many. Are they stored somewhere else after in-box gets to a certain total?

    invisible,

    ..uh , yeah .
    .they are stored on remote Apple® servers that are probably flushed every night at 00:00 PST ≠
    ..not that i really know, ok ? My I S P AT&T gives me 1/2 Gig of storage space
    and seems to flush things periodically..not immediately . i do not store e-mail on my
    own machine
    h t h & alo'ha ∞

    Did you do "Empty trash" yet in mail?

    if not..... then look in the trash in "Mail"

    I am assuming you are using "Mail" - you did not tell us that....

      yes, using 'mail' and not using IMAP as such

      mail is also accessible via my server's site but if I delete from there, it makes no difference to total in 'mail' window.

      perhaps i should ask this question .. if the header in inbox says (4000 messages), should that technically mean that there are 4000 viewable in the inbox window?
