Hi Mo
Just to say for now that I firstly appreciate your help, and secondly that
all my other folders are working with the rules I have set up in Outlook.
It's just that the Gmail messages have to be deleted on the website and not
in the Office program. I can live with it, but find it odd that's all,
particularly as I subscribed to the group with my regular account.
Thanks so much, I may have a mad half hour some time and go back to it!
(smile).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hello Jackie.
This seems to be a known outlook bug, one which they probably won't bother
to fix. We have 2 options. The first option is i take a quick look for you
via remote support sometime, i'm not saying you haven't done everything
right i'm just curious more than anything to see if gmail have changed their
server options so you can't delete emails. I don't have a working outlook
install to test it though so i'd like to see if i can fix it for you. The
second option is you make the switch to thunderbird. Its a lot more
convenient in my opinion to carry your emails portable on a pen drive, as
well as of course having it on your PC. all your emails are syncronised and
obviously it works with all major screen readers. its also faster than
outlook. Let me know if you'd like any more info on the above, perhaps we
should take it off list and post back when/if we find a sollution?
cheers,
Mo.
