New hotmail problem
Bill Leary
junk e-mail box on Hotmail.
When I select the Empty option, the pop-up confirmation box not only asks if you
really mean it, but has a check box asking if you want to report the selected
items as junk mail. Whether I check or don't check the box, whether I check or
don't check any of the messages, if I hit OK, except that the graphic for the OK
button shows it depress and return, nothing happens.
Particulars:
Version 7.54
Build 3865
Platform Win32
System Windows ME
Java not installed
Registered version.
Of course, it works correctly in IE.
Any ideas?

Works for me in Firefox but not with Opera 7.54. Just emptied the junk mail
so I cannot try it with IE6 :-)

I saw it happen.
I checked the junk mail box in the morning before leaving for work, and emptied
it, then checked it again when I got home and they'd added this "feature"
between the two checkouts.

I've been using IE 6 to empty the junk mail folder. It's damn annoying, since
it's pretty much the only thing I use IE for. Indeed, when I checked IE history
I found the list empty (I have it said to clear after 7 days) other than my
Windows Update run a few days ago.
As a work around, I've created a new folder to which I move all my junk mail. I
then switch to that folder and delete everything in that folder. This doesn't
ask that question about notifying them that all this stuff is junk, so it
deletes cleanly. This moves everything to the trash folder, which they say is
automatically emptied once a day. We'll see how this works out.

I've set my hotmail account to automatically delete junk mail. I almost
never have to go there, as it's not my primary email.

Unfortunately, it *is* my primary e-mail, the account I've had since 1995. I
had it send to automatically delete, until I discovered that they keep changing
the junk rules and things which weren't being called junk got ID'd as junk and
disappeared. I get may mail via POP3 several times a day, and use Opera to
check the junk folder every day or so (or even less often if I'm busy) to see if
something I wanted ended up tossed in there. About once a week I find that
something which shouldn't be junk got classified as junk.

temporary files, setting security to medium etc, but it still doesn't
work.

Thanks. I'd seen this sort of "stuck at OK" problem on a couple of other pages
before, so I didn't really think it was hotmail specific. I'd assumed it was
just another IE-ism.

junk mail that way. It just empties it and doesnt have that same pop up
that is causing the problems.

Ahh! Thanks, I just figured that would catch too.
