The message will be copied to Archive immediately (you can check that by opening it in another window). It is just the current folder where they're not yet removed until you sync; that lets you under the "delete" part of the "move" if you want. If you wanted the sync immediate, include "<sync>" in the macro? It is a whole mail folder sync of course. Personally, my (d)elete macro just archives :-) Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au>
