I have XP home edition. Is there any way of deleting some messages in
the 'Deleted Items' box other than individually selecting each one?

I have lots of messages in there that I would like to temporarily keep
and some I want to permanently discard. Is there some way of selecting
whole blocks of messages from one person without individually
selecting each message?

Click to expand...

Click the "From" header to sort by sender, select the first of the series
you want to dump, hold shift key and select the last of the series you want
to dump, press "Delete".

You could also make a folder called something like "Dump These Eventually"
and drag whatever into it.
