    On deleting Mail after reading them, the list shows in More>Deleted, no matter how often that they are deleted. . Apparently, this appears to be an issue with other Forum users. Is there a solution to overcome this?

    I do not use Edge, Hotmail or gmail for reading Mail. I use Windows 10 format. For some reason there is no Junk or Trash listed.

    I'd love to see a screenshot... Do you have a regular Inbox, Sent etc AND a Deleted folder?

    Do the mails only show up in the deleted folder? Have you tried right clicking on the folder and look for an "empty" option?

    I have tried everything possible, and deleted Mail appears to be so deleted. Checking again after a cold start of computer, find all thought Mail previously deleted are again shown under Deleted. Mail shows as far back as last week in February. I am sure in having read some where, that Windows 10 removes all Mail over 30 days old. If this be correct, it should allow a means of changing the date factor. Should mention, that deleted Mail is under added Mail account, that is my internet provider address.
