Using Mailwasher, I tick the delete box of any message I want deleted and then I click on the "Process Mail" button. The messages I mark for deletion are deleted and the rest of the mail is processed as per the Maiwasher rules I have instituted. I have no rules set up in OE. I would suggest you wait for Sandy's comment on this before you delete the rules you have set up in OE. The above works for me. I really don't use Mailwasher to process my e-mail, though. I was using Popcorn, but have since replaced it with PopTray. Popcorn could not be set up to check Hotmail accts. PopTray checks my SMTP and my HotMail accts., & I use it to preview my mail and or delete what I want to discard, without ever using OE.

Which they are! Should I delete all those in OE? Juanita ________________________________________________ PeoplePC: It's for people.
