To be fair, I think Tech walked away chasing skirts across the country and folks did try to help him. My memory could be all wrong, and I'll apologize in advance if I am.

Bill,
Not to beat a dead horse, but solely to provide good information should someone else be looking in the future, in Gmail I find that a SPAM message that is deleted from the SPAM Folder is deleted, and doesn't go into the TRASH Folder for a period in purgatory. You're not deleting the SPAM "Folder", you're deleting the messages IN the SPAM Folder.
In SPAM, when you select any or all messages the check box at the top says "DELETE FOREVER", and I find that they are not recoverable within Gmail. I confirmed this today by opening my SPAM Folder, finding 21 messages, and noted the top one was from "American Home Warranty". I then checked TRASH, and confirmed that the same message was not in the TRASH and went back to SPAM, selected that one message and checked "DELETE FOREVER" and clicked the action box. Back in TRASH I searched for "American Home Warranty" and it was not in the TRASH folder. To be fair, I didn't check the Windows RECYCLE bin, but within Gmail that message was gone, and according to the link you provided earlier, it's indeed gone forever and cannot be recovered. If I'm wrong I apologize for the bother, and am interested in learning.
Again, this is only to ensure that someone else having the problem has the straight scoop. Computer issues can be frustrating at best, and mind boggling at times. Thanks for all you do to keep things going.
Tech has chased skirts since I've known him and that goes back to 57 when we were freshmen in high school. But that is not the reason he moved, he couldn't handle Missouri weather.
At the end of November he was in Yuma,Az. The last week of November he was headed to Prescott for eye surgery.
I've been under the weather for the last couple of weeks so I don't know the out come. I'll try to get hold of him today and find out how everything turned out. I'll post it as soon as I know.
Thanks for the update Ken. Hope Tech is okay. Didn't know about the eye surgery and didn't know you've been ill.
Hope it isn't serious!
Just talked to Tech and he's doing fine. Got the right eye fixed and this coming Wednesday he'll get the left one done. After everything heals he's heading to Sarasota, Fl and I think that is where he'll stay.
As for me I'm fighting a sinus infection, nothing unusual, happens every year about this time.
I got a head cold going myself! Thanks for the updates. Let Tech know we said "HEY"!
