- Sure you have marked as 'deleted' (LeftAmiga-d) the messages to be
- discarded ?
- If not, you should turn on Show all messages (by General/Show/All) and
- mark them for deletion...
- You can also do that (easily) using the MsgList window, where you could
- multiselect...
- Otherwise, you can set a time/number limit for messages in the database.
- Under Configuration/Global/Database Options you'll find two string gadgets,
- Msgs to Keep and Days to Keep.
- Uncheck the Ignore flag and set them as you please...
- Hope this helps.
- Bye,
