Re: [Evolution] Deleting Messages

["Mr. J" <comlbox sonic net>]

Opening a spam/malware message can result in release of the virus or notice to the spammer that the email address is a good one. I prefer not to open mail I think is spam. So, deleting one message results in opening another that I may not want to open.

I have my mail sorted into folders (i.e. Banks, Autos, Work, etc.) By "parent folder" I meant the folder or subfolder I'm in at the time I am looking at the mail. (Usually, I'm looking at mail from the "Inbox". So Inbox would be the parent folder.

A later response talks about the "preview" view; I will investigate that, but no, I don't delete messages in a separate window. I use only one window to open and read a message. If it's junk or otherwise unimportant, I want to delete it and return to the folder from which I was reading mail.

Thanks.
