No, I'm not so obsessive-compulsive that I do things twice. What I'm referring to in the title of today's Shotgun/Email Tip is that almost all email programs require you to delete your email twice. Whether you use Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, or any of the myriad of other email services, when you delete your email, the email isn't gone. Deleted email ends up in the "Deleted Items" folder or "Trash" folder of your email.
To get rid of your email for good, go to your deleted items folder and use its "empty all" option or delete the individual emails you want to get rid of permanently.
Also, don't forget that your Sent mail folder also needs cleaned from time-to-time.
