Hi  tomx2, When you access your Hotmail account from the Windows 8 Start screen(the tiles screen which gives you access to the various application) and right click Deleted under Folders,it should give you four option Empty Folder(along with other 3 options,For this folder,New subfolder,Mark all as read) Could you try again and confirm?
Hi. I have two questions on the mail panel in win 8. It is sync with my hotmail. And I look at it occasionally, but preferred going to Outlook to do my email activity. However I notice the deleted items have reached 137 and do not seem to perform any auto cleanup. 2 Questions: 1. Is there a way I can set the deleted items to be erased after X number of days? 2. Can I remove these deleted items as a bulk(more than one)? The only way I know how to remove these items is highlighting 1 per item and clicking Cntl-D.  Thanks. TC.
auto purge deleted mail.
