When I delete a Hotmail message it disappears immediately from the inbox.
I want the same operation in my Hotmail account as on my gmail account, where the the message has a red X to warn me that the message will disappear when the folder is compacted.
Could someone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks, spruce18b

How is the Hotmail account set up in Thunderbird, as POP or IMAP? Find out using menu path Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.

That should be all that's necessary. Try changing that options to one of the other choices, closing and restarting TB and the setting it back to "Just mark it as deleted." You may have to update an option on the Hotmail settings pages before it will "obey" Thunderbird's directions on the matter.
