- THOR won't purge unread messages. However, you can do catchup to mark them
- all as read.

- I don't know if this can be done, but there might be an option to fix it. I
- like it, because not all emails I get are addressed to me.

-
- You can use the Sortmail function for this, creating a 'mailing list'
- conference with the selecting parameter being sent by you (using your email
- address in the From field).
-
- >Question #3:
- >Is there an option to delete an entire thread of messages?
-
- Not directly, but you can use search to select a specific thread, and mark
- them all for deletion. Also, you can use the Kill database to mark the messages
- for deletion, and mark them as read so you don't have to look for them.

-
- I can't answer this one, as I don't have multiview installed on mine.
