Emptying Folders

Depending on how your Preferences are set up, once you have emptied a folder, its contents are either: moved to your Deleted folder, purged immediately, or deleted after you receive the confirmation message (Are you sure you want to move all messages from this folder to the deleted folder?) and click OK.

To empty the contents of a folder:

  1. In the left-hand pane, select the folder whose contents you want to delete. The folder name should appear on the top left of the right-hand pane; the Empty the <folder name> folder link appears on the right above the message list.
  2. Click the link. The folder is emptied and the message count decreases to 0.

If you want to delete the folder as well, see Deleting a Folder.
