I can't seem to be able to delete any hotmail messages in my folder. I click the boxes next to the message to select which ones I want deleted, but when I click 'delete' nothing happens!! HELP!

tools, internet options, settings, view files, hold ctrl press A to highlight everything, hit delete. say yes to delete cookies. if that does not work, powercycle modem for 2 minutes, reboot pc.

It's something wrong with Hotmails site. I have the same problem if I try to delete more then one mail at a time. Delete them one at a time and it will work.

How do you powercycle your modem and what does that do? Deleting the cookies didn't seem to work. Thanks.
