Deleting emails from a hotmail account

[mij]

The ordinary delete button deletes from the screen but not from the server.Is this just operator error?

Many thanks

Hi Jim :D

Just checked mine for ya. It appears to your side more than theres. In one simple statement, I'm sure i can explain it 'Hotmail is rubbish' lol. It's too 'big' if that makes sense.

 

Anyway to your issue, have you tried deleting your cookies or cache from your browser? What browser are you using? I'd suggest Firefox. I'd also suggest GMail, as it's exactly what you need in an webmail, small simple and no fussing. I had a simliar experience switching folders on hotmail a few years back, but that was just my browser.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi

 

When you delete an e-mail from the "inbox" it goes to the "deleted" folder.

 

You can then delete it from the "deleted" folder to permantly remove the e-mail.

Thanks for the replies internal server and maynardvdm. This is for my cuz about an hour from me by car so I have forwarded your replies. It may not happen though until I call again to enact it.

On this machine I do use firefox and googlemail.

cheers

After researching a different issue if the account is set up as IMAP it seems the mail will remain on the server even if you delete it if you are using a client program like Outlook.
