Deleting messages

We’ve changed how your stumail account works.

To fix quota problems when moving or deleting messages, we've changed how stumail works. Instead of moving messages to the trash, messages are shown as deleted in the current folder.

To permanently delete a message:

1. Choose one or more messages to delete: Click the check box to the left of the message.
2. Click “Delete” on the top-left of the message list: The message changes to show a trash can and a line through it on top of a grey background.
3. Click “Purge Deleted” on the top-right of the message list: The deleted messages will be permanently removed.

The above 3 steps will permanently delete messages from the current folder.

This method avoids the quota problems of having a trash can and should make stumail more convenient.
