Why do I delete messages inside "Inbox", warning message still coming? (for POP3 user only)

  1. Having messages removed from Local mailboxes like the In box DOES NOT mean that they have also been removed from your email account (your Remote mailbox).
     
  2. When you delete a message in Eudora and then empty the Trash, only the copy in your Local mailbox is removed. The corresponding copy stored in the remote mailbox remains. This is one of the reasons why your disk space usage remains high even after you have deleted a lot of message.
     
  3. To delete messages from the remote mailbox by using Eudora, read 3.4 How to delete a message from the Mail Server "Manually"?, 3.5 How to delete messages from the Mail Server "automatically"? and 3.6 Are there any other Delete From Server options in Eudora? To delete messages with WebMail 2.0, please refer to How to clean up my mailbox?
