After I delete a message, it doesn't always go into Trash bin but disappears.

In a number of instances, when I delete an e-mail from my Inbox, it doesn't appear in Trash but completely disappears--usually it's one I decide I need to look at it again. Most of my real junk mail stays in my Trash folder until I empty the Trash folder.

just lift your finger off the Shift key before you press delete.

Holding shift while you delete does exactly what you describe. Could that be it?

Actually, that is probably what I am doing. What I WANT to do, is delete a bunch (but not all) of my e-mails (that is, have them go to Trash folder) without having to select them one by one. Any way of doing that?

I have this same problem, but for one message, not a bunch. I hit only the delete key or I click on the delete icon on the message itself. But when I go to look for it in Trash, it's not there, and can't be found anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks
