I know - here I am again asking the most basic of questions -I had this iMac set up to remove messages from the server as received some time ago but then I ended up using three different machines to retrieve email so I changed the setting to leave the messages on the server so that they could be read without omission on all three machines -that got complicated as every now and again - like today - I realised I had about 500 email - many with attachments on the server - I can remove them by running Outlook Express but over time I have got used to Mail and prefer it - but I cannot recall how to get it to remove messages once read - it is not in the Preferences ( as far as I can see) where does one set this up? I've also searched Mail Help files but cannot find a reference to the procedure -- DUH! Blame it on old age
If it's a POP3 account, in Mail preferences, choose the account, then "edit," then in the "Account Options" tab check the box "delete messages on server after downloading" - that should do it for you.
