(Answer) (Category) Accessing Services at OA5 / YASK / Irial : (Category) My Email : (Answer) How do I get rid of mail from my Trash folder
Your Trash folder is where messages are copied to when you delete them from other folders using Webmail or Outlook/Outlook Express.

The space they take there still counts against your quota, so you may want to get rid of them quickly.

There are 3 seperate answers here, one for a "Quick Fix", one for the general answer in Webmail, and one for the general answer for outlook

Quick Deletion

In Outlook (Express) you can get rid of things easily, from any folder.

Select the folder in the left hand folder list, and when the folder listing is displayed, select the messages you want to get rid of.

If you want to get rid of them all, click on any message, then press [ctrl]-A to select all messages

Then press [Shift]-Delete, you will be asked if you really want to permanantly delete the selected messages

WebMail

In webmail you need to mark the messages in the Trash folder for deletion

Click on Trash in the folder list on the left pane, and when the folder contents are displayed click [Toggle All] to select all messages, then [Delete]

Outlook [Express]

Outlook can be set to tidy up when you log off by emptying the Trash folder automatically
