Don't know how long it takes Yahoo (Bellsouth webmail) to permanently delete mail out of the trash can. I've not seen a setting for it but there definitely is one for the Spam folder being emptied. I let my trash sit there till they delete it just in case I have to go back in there and pull something out but if you have trashed something that you never opened, it shows up as a number to the right of the trash can icon and the word "Trash". Currently, the trash I have only goes back to yesterday so it must have been dumped automatically in the past 36 hours or so. Have a good holiday weekend Harry!

Bellsouth's webmail is actually Yahoo. I use a powermail (a 3rd party mail program) to check my mail. Periodically I have to log on to web mail to check my spam folder to make sure yahoo is letting all my mail through. I usually find one or two emails that yahoo thinks is spam but are legitimate emails. A couple of weeks ago I logged on to Yahoo to check my bellsouth email and discovered that yahoo wasn't completely deleting my mail. I found 50 or so messages that I had downloaded in the trash folder in my webmail acct. I double checked my settings in powermail and everything is as it should be. Is anyone else having this problem with their bellsouth web mail? TIA. Harry
