When I tried that,P. Phillips, the message still opens. What I would like to do is delete any conversation that I KNOW is junk without having to open it...I can do this on the iPhone but seem to have to click on the text and it opens - then it can be deleted...is there a way around this?
I'm not on Ventura at the moment but you should be able to hover the cursor over the message in the sidebar and swipe left without seelecting it first.
Thank you for answering...I did read that article, but apparently I missed that part...I appreciate your help!
Very welcome
Sometimes the articles contain a lot of information and is difficult to digest all of it in one sitting.
