This will move your message to your Trash folder. Your unwanted files will be out of your way, but you can still recover them if you need to; simply drag the wanted file(s) back out of the Trash folder. It is important to remember that while the files remain in your Trash folder, they continue to take up your e-mail quota space. If you don't want them taking up space, you must either permanently delete them, or move them to a local mailbox. |
