Just thought that you lot out there might like to know, while at work we all had a message not to open any emails that had a number as the title, these emails contain a virus....The number could be anything from 1 to 1000, if you get one deleat it DO NOT OPEN IT.... This is for real I'm not winding any one up. Bev

Hi Ann, I have my email set up in view by sender, then if I have an email by a sender that I don't recognise I click on the + by the name then the title is displayed if it then has a number click on the X at the top for delete, the go to yor deleted file and go to edit, select all and again click on delete when it asks if you want to delete all select yes, that is the way I do it.

Ann Whilst in Outlook Express go to Tools (top left of screen) then Options then click on Read. You will see an option for how long you want a message marked as unread. First of all tick the little box to the left, then, if you put something like 8 seconds it will mean the envelope icon will stay closed until you have time to delete it. Also remember to delete it from your Deleted Items folder. Dee x
