Windows Live mail is an incredible email client included from version Windows Vista or higher. A crucial part to this setup is synchronizing the IMAP and /or POP web based email clients like Gmail, Yahoo mail etc. This syncing process allows users to manage their email accounts, which also includes deleting emails. However, these emails are not actually deleted, due to that fact that IMAP and POP emails are dealt with in a separate manners by Windows. If you want to delete your emails permanently here are some guidelines to help you out.

Steps to Delete Email with POP Email Client:

  • Launch the Windows mail application and wait for all your accounts to get loaded.
  • Explore through your inbox to determine which new messages you wish to delete from the account.
  • Now select that email and click on the Delete button. The Delete button is present in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
