Delete Mail messages without using Mail's trash
Authored by: rich74 on Jan 05, '06 08:33:08AM

What about the command+k shortcut to empty the trash - it's as quick as command+x and you have the option of recovering any "accidental" deletions before you empty the trash ...

...erm, especially if you use command+backspace to delete the message in the first place

Delete Mail messages without using Mail's trash

As mentioned above, if you command-x by mistake you can always command-v to recover an accidental deletion (or just undo, although both require that you notice the mistake).

Personally I do usually use command-delete, but most messages I leave in the trash for x days--so don't want to empty it.

Cmd-Delete puts it in the Trash.

why command-delete?

Are you using command-delete to trash messages opened in separate windows? In regular 3-pane viewing just tapping the delete key is enough.
