Thanks Huia, yes mine has the same system, and it asks if I want to delete them permanently........and without thinking I did......it was only when I looked at the ones I should have deleted I realised my mistake.....

Thanks for the information though......x

Sally, I am on Hotmail and if I delete by accident I can go to the Deleted box to retrieve it. I think they stay there for a week before they are deleted permanently. I dont know if you have such a system with your emails?

Huia.

Its a sore point with me at the moment Uzzi, as I have deleted the wrong lot and I had a lot of emails from my children with photos of the Grandchildren I wanted to print off but hadn't got round to........so I am ticked off with myself.....

I delete the reminders from here straight away... as I have usually answered or opened them already... all my friends have a folder of their own... and their mails go in there unless I haven't replied to them... same with bills etc... otherwise I get all confused over what is what. If I am distracted, which is easy, and forget, it all starts to steam roller, and I end up with not knowing what I have answered when, or which account I am in, lol

My biggest problem is my e-mail accounts.

I have a collection...... and some I forget I have got. Or how to get into them

Oh well........

Love

Daff xxxx

Nothing like that number. When I'm bored and no one to chat to, I delete a few e-mails from my box. Any that come in that I dont want I delete immediately.
