    Yes, mine is the same, I wondered what was happening.
  • Trash Can automatically empties every day anyway, so just leave it!

    The New Windows Live Mail BETA is being tested at the moment, and will probably be rolled out soon. That means that they may be having a few glitches in any upgrades/changes, much like this forum had when switching to a new Server!!

    HTH!

    Matt.

    Yep and thats the problem, as if the email isnt emptied any sent mail will
    be bounced back by the sender who has sent an email to a hotmail account.

    So check it daily and manually delete.
  • WRONG!

    Your Mail Limit does not include emails in the Trash Can :)
