Nope. That doesn't work. If I do it while the message is open, it says message cannot be deleted. If I close it and do control d it says message deleted, but it's still there, just like when I use the delete key alone.

I also encounter difficulties deleting messages in OE. In my case, it's somehow linked to my having an Internet window open, though this, too, is inconsistent. Control-d usually works when the delete key won't. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracy To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 6:19 PM Subject: Re: not deleting messages Ok. I was able to finally get rid of all the deleted messages. I still can't do a normal delete message though. I have to do shift delete and confirm in order to get rid of a message. Weird!

I tried emptying the deleted messages folder and it won't work either. Tracy In God we trust! tracyduffy@xxxxxxxxx (that's also my messenger contact) Skype: trace.type.girl twitter.com/todayinbraille
