Hi Carol, Within OE message rules, you can opt to select, either an individual or group messages, Do not download it from the server from the list of rules options. This is for pop3 protocol though. I'm not sure it will delete it from the Google service. Just like years ago in Hotmail. You could delete your e-mails from the inbox, but you had to wait for Hotmail's Bot to get around to actually doing it.

I still prefer to work in Outlook Express rather than on the WEB and would be grateful if anyone can tell me if this can be set for a POP3 account.
