</div>Sure. You go to the "Archived" section, click on an email, and click<br>
Delete.<br>
<br>
Normally, when you're done with a message, you (optionally) tag it, and<br>
then archive it.<br>
<br>
I don't usually bother deleting; Even with occasionally large<br>
attachments, I'm only using 1.3GB of my available space. I wouldn't<br>
have started using GMail at all if I had to delete things to make space<br>
for them; That was the primary turn-off for me for every other available<br>
webmail service that was available at the time. You could get 10MB<br>
free, maybe 20MB. GMail was announced on April Fools Day, with a<br>
starting mailbox size of 1GB.<br>
