You have to go into the folder and check the boxes for each message, then click the Delete button. There's a button to mark them as not spam and a button to permanetly delete them. It's a tedious job because you can't check all of the messages in one fell swoop...that would be nice! <smile>...but that's what you have to do. It's a good idea to check that folder periodically because every once in a while, at least for me, some things do get put in there that shouldn't be, but for the most part, it does a pretty good job of blocking the junk and keeping my messages going where they should, so don't get checkbox happy and check everything without looking at the messages first, just to be sure, so you can leave them and mark them as not spam when you delete everything else. Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype mercy0421 AIM mercylab421 http://juliemorales.avonrepresentative.com/ Currently in Winchester Regional, Virginia Mostly Cloudy, 23F°(-5C°) Wind:Calm The "Psychic Friends Network" went out of business... didn't they see it coming? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roden" <info.rczenterprise@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 4:43 PM Subject: Deleting SPAM folder in Gmail Hello all members!
