Re: Re-sending: Cleaning Out E-mail Folders

From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel via groups.io ? Tom, first of all I did not see whether you said anywhere if you set up your Gmail account in Outlook using IMAP or if you are still using the old POP3 protocol which nobody should really use any more. Yes, I know I am probably going to get some nasty replies from some fossils on the list who think POP3 is similar to the second coming, but if you use your Gmail account on your computer and possible on your iPhone, then POP3 has no place in this world any more. In fact, it is POP3 where you had the option to “delete from server”, the option you mention in Outlook Options > Advanced simply means that you have to confirm when you delete a message you already deleted, i.e. you first delete the message from your Inbox, then you now go to your Deleted items folder and you delete it from there. Personally I have that box unchecked because once I delete messages from my Deleted Items folder, I am pretty sure I want them gone and I don’t have to be prompted yet again whether I want to do this. Now, as far as the protocol goes, if you have set up your Gmail account using IMAP, then any change you make in Outlook will be reflected on your Gmail account. Basically, the accounts sync which is why IMAP or, if you are using Outlook.com, Exchange is a much better protocol for people who access their email on more than 1 device. If you delete a message in Outlook on the computer and you then go to your iPhone (just as an example), that message will also be gone. If you reply to an email on your iPhone and then go to your computer, this message will shows as “replied” and the message you sent will be in your sent items folder. ? ?

My sent folder;? my all mail folder;? and a folder called important mail. ? I’d like to clear out these folders to some degree, but am not quite sure how to go about it efficiently. ? I would be happy to ?save sent e-mails from the last year or two. ? I also wouldn’t mind paring my all mail and important mail folders back significantly, but am not sure what the difference is between all mail and important mail. ? I do have Outlook Classic set to automatically delete e-mails from the server whenever I invoke the delete function and indicate that I’m sure of my deletion step. ? Any help on this would be appreciated. ? Thank you! ? Tom Behler ? |

Re: Re-sending: Cleaning Out E-mail Folders
开云体育Tom, first of all I did not see whether you said anywhere if you set up your Gmail account in Outlook using IMAP or if you are still using the old POP3 protocol which nobody should really use any more. Yes, I know I am probably going to get some nasty replies from some fossils on the list who think POP3 is similar to the second coming, but if you use your Gmail account on your computer and possible on your iPhone, then POP3 has no place in this world any more. In fact, it is POP3 where you had the option to “delete from server”, the option you mention in Outlook Options > Advanced simply means that you have to confirm when you delete a message you already deleted, i.e. you first delete the message from your Inbox, then you now go to your Deleted items folder and you delete it from there. Personally I have that box unchecked because once I delete messages from my Deleted Items folder, I am pretty sure I want them gone and I don’t have to be prompted yet again whether I want to do this. Now, as far as the protocol goes, if you have set up your Gmail account using IMAP, then any change you make in Outlook will be reflected on your Gmail account. Basically, the accounts sync which is why IMAP or, if you are using Outlook.com, Exchange is a much better protocol for people who access their email on more than 1 device. If you delete a message in Outlook on the computer and you then go to your iPhone (just as an example), that message will also be gone. If you reply to an email on your iPhone and then go to your computer, this message will shows as “replied” and the message you sent will be in your sent items folder. ? ?
