    Just a couple of questions

    Hi,



    I have a couple of questions. The first one is a really strange one. I
    have three Web based e-mail accounts. One of them is a good 'Google Mail'
    account. It is different to the other two accounts in the way that it does
    not have a 'Deleted Items Folder' as such.
    What the account contains is:

    'Google Mail'
    'All Mail'
    'Drafts'
    'Sent items'
    'Spam'
    'Starred'
    'Trash'

    Recently I signed up to a Website to receive their news literature in the
    form of an e-mail. I have since undersubscribed to the Website so that they
    may not send me any more of their newsletter e-mails.

    I have three of their e-mails all in the row in the 'All Mail' folder. I
    have tried deleting all three of those e-mails and they disappear at first.
    When I go to another folder and then come back to the 'All Mail' folder, the
    three e-mails are back again. I have tried to get rid of them many times
    but every time I go back to this folder, they are come back again.

    Does anybody know why? Does anybody know how I can get rid of these e-mails
    for good?

    The second question I should really know because I have done it before but I
    just can't remember how I did it!

    All I want to know is how to put all my e-mail accounts complete with their
    e-mails as shown on my old computer to a new computer so that when I click
    on the 'Mail Icon', it brings up my account as per normal.

    I know you can get to your e-mails by clicking Internet Explorer that way
    but I want it the way that it is on my old computer. I hope this makes
    sense.

    Thank you in advance

    Wendy

    You are using the IMAP version of Gmail. Gmail's implementation
    of IMAP is unique, and Windows Mail is known to have some
    incompatibilities with it. Your best solution for getting rid of the
    unwanted emails is to delete them via the web interface at
    http://gmail.com. It may take a while before the web server
    syncs its new status of those messages with the Windows Mail
    client.

    I don't really understand your second question. What exactly is
    different between your old and new computers with respect to how
    they access or display emails?
