 Chapter 3. IMP Intermediate FeaturesDeleting MessagesDeleting a message from within the message view
Open the message you wish to delete.
  
Click the Delete link in the text menu at the
    top of the message to mark it for deletion.  Depending on how your
    email is configured, the message will either be marked for delete,
    or moved to your trash folder.
  
To completely remove the message from your mailbox,
    return to the folder view, and click on the Purge
    Deleted  or Empty Trash link in the
    text menu (which one appears depends on your email configuration.
    It is located on the right-hand side of the window both above and
    below your list of messages).
  
Deleting Messages from the Folder View
Click the checkbox to the left of each message you wish to delete.
    You can select as many messages as you want, as long as they
    are all on the same display page.
  
Click the Delete link. (There are
    Delete links at both the top and bottom of the
    folder view.) The messages will be marked for deletion; they will be
    either crossed out in the display or moved to your trash folder, depending
    on your configuration. In either case, they will remain in your mailbox.
  
To completely remove the message from your mailbox,
    return to the folder view, and click on the Purge
    Deleted  or Empty Trash link in the
    text menu (which one appears depends on your email configuration.
    It is located on the right-hand side of the window both above and
    below your list of messages).
   Tip: 
      You can use the Select
      pop-up menu to select (that is, check the
      checkbox next to) all the messages flagged a particular
      way. For example, you can select all the seen messages, all
      the important messages, or all the "not personal" (directed
      to you as a group member rather than as an individual)
      messages.
