I wish it was that simple, but it does not do the job unless I'm not
understanding it. It does have a line drawn thru the title, but the email

Ummm... try pressing "Delete" key on your keyboard.

You do have a "Delete" key on your keyboard, right? No? How about "Del"

I've decided to start using outlook for my email today. I've downloaded
all
my e-mail onto outlook, but can not figure out how to delete the emails
that
I don't want. I feel like an idiot, but I've wasted a lot of time
looking
at
tutorials and still have not figured out how to do it. Thanks for your
help.
