For 3 years all my incoming emails have been sent to the main Archives Folder. When I painstakingly deleted them, they reappeared the next day. I now have close to 5,000 emails in the main Archives folder. I want to empty folder/delete them; and only allow archiving of folders I choose to click and drag/archive. I connot figure it out; my 3 techie adult kids can't either. Val
