Microsoft Outlook email - delete from this folder

BlankNewsgroup messages? If you have no use for old ones, then yes. Msnews
deletes them after 60 days, but they are still taking up space in the dbx
file in the message store.

There are many options.

You can create a message such as this:

ToolsMessage RulesNews.

Box 1: Where the message was sent more than days ago
Box 2: Delete it
Box 3: Click on "Days" and choose the # of days you want.
Name the rule.

*NOTE* This will not delete messages automatically. You have to go to
ToolsMessage
RulesNews, and click Apply Now when you want to do this. Also, you will be
given a choice of which newsgroup, or news server, to delete from after you
click Apply Now.

If you want to delete a selection of messages, but not the first or last,
click on the last message you want to delete, scroll up as far as you want
to delete messages, hold down the Shift key and click on that message. This
will highlight the messages in blue. Hit the Delete key.

If you want to delete every message after a certain one, click on the newest
message you want deleted. Hold Ctrl+Shift and tap the End key, then Delete.

If you want to delete all messages in a newsgroup, highlight any message -
Hold Ctrl & A and tap Delete.

If you want to delete sporadically spaced messages, hold the Ctrl key while
you click on each one to highlight and then use the Delete key.

Any way you do it, follow up by compacting all your folders *manually* while
working offline, and in Outlook Express at the top of the Folder Tree.

FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar).
FileFolderCompact all folders.

In ToolsOptionsMaintenance: Uncheck: Compact messages in background. {N/A
if running XP-SP2}.
