Help DELETE OUTLOOK MESSAGES FROM LAPTOP BUT STILL ON PHONE

A

Android Question

Guest
I log onto my Hotmail account using my laptop through my web browser www.hotmail.co.uk and have just deleted a lot of messages from inbox/sent items/junk folder and then from the deleted messages itself, but they are still showing on my android phone. I always like to use my laptop to delete messages as find it easier than using my phone. I have a Huwaei Kestrel, is there any way in the settings on my laptop when in outlook that I can change them, so that when I delete messages from my laptop, it also deletes them on my phone?

Check the email account settings; if it uses the POP3 protocol then there should be a setting to "keep copy on server" (or something similar). You need to disable that so that local deletions are mirrored.
