Empty deleted items on exit
Empty deleted items on exit or a button to delete all deleted items with one click
The option to not have to confirm deletion
Just as in the Windows version of Outlook has had for a very long time

To eradicate deleted items and empty the Deleted Items file is really too much work, especially since I can I delete or move an item from the deleted folder to another folder. Especially given the number of unnecessary mails we all receive !!!
5 moves to eliminate one mail !!!
Delete
Go into deleted items folder
Select the item
Hit delete
Hit Permanently delete -

I want to be able to permanently delete ALL items at once - in addition to today’s ‘single item deletion’.
That is, the same functionality that exists in the online (or desktop) version

How about just empty the archive ? There’s no option to empty or delete!

When viewing a particular message there is lot of good real estate to the left of the three dot drop down feature to place the mark unread and most useful features right in that empty space instead of stretching to hit the three dots then selecting the feature.

No delete all?????? No select all???? No empty trash?? No empty trash on exit????
What is this, 1997????I guess we should be thankful we can send and receive e-mail via Outlook.

Include an icon / functionality for emptying deleted items similar to Empty Spam in Spam folder. Now it is difficult to select one by one in Deleted folder and permanently deletes it.

Please add an ‘Empty Trash’ option as the current method is longer than it needs to be. It is one of the reasons I’ve not made Outlook mail the default on my iOS devices.

The fact that on my phone I cannot delete all the trash with one click is RIDICULOUS.
I hate using outlook app just for this reason.
How is it that the spam can be deletely permanently with a touch, but not deleted mail? Who stands to gain from my trash sitting around? Why is my trash can full with hundreds of emails because some winner thought it great to make us swipe one trash email by one to delete them individually.
I’m about done with this stupidness. -

On both the mobile and desktop version, it’s not possible to delete a group of emails at once. (In theory it is on the desktop, but what used to be a “click visible emails”button now clicks ALL emails. It’s really clumsy and time wasting to have to delete every email individually. I’ve learned ke at your alleged solutions, and they’re three years old and still useless. Select All is no good if you want to keep some emails.
