Deleting Messages
Each Webmail Direct account is allocated a certain amount of disk space. Once it reaches maximum capacity, messages are returned to their senders. For this reason, it is good practice to clean out your folders on a regular basis, deleting messages that are outdated or have otherwise served their purpose.

Important! Before you begin deleting messages, go to the Preferences page and decide whether or not you want to use the Trash feature. If you enable the Trash feature, the Compact link in Webmail goes away and is replaced by a Trash link; all deleted messages go to the Trash folder and remain there until you exit Webmail when the Trash folder is compacted automatically. For more information, see Setting Preferences [link within the internal Mirapoint Help].

To delete messages using the Trash feature:

1. Select the messages you want to delete. Note: You must have enabled the Trash feature in your Preferences settings first.
   Result: The messages are moved to your Trash folder.
2. Click Delete.
   Result: If you have enabled the Trash feature, the messages are moved to your Trash folder, where you can retrieve them before logging out if you want.
3. Click Folders and then Trash.
   Result: Your Trash folder list displays.
4. Click Empty. Result: The messages in your Trash folder are permanently deleted.
