Can WLM purge deleted mail from hotmail account?

Windows Live Mail 2008 (Build 12.0.1606) on Vista Home Premium SP-1.

Downloading mail from my hotmail and AOL account using WLM. I have the box
checked in WLM to delete mail in the deleted folder and to purge the IMAP
(AOL) folder upon exit . I know that hotmail is a http server. Is there a
setting in WLM that will purge the deleted messages from the hotmail server
without having to go on line to do so?

Yes.

Highlight the name of the Hotmail Deleted Items folder (in the folder
list).

You will see an "X", to the right of the folder name. Click on the "X",
which will empty the folder. The same system works with the Hotmail
Junk Mail folder.

Thank you very much. Works like a charm. That is the first time I had
noticed the "X" by the folder. Again Thanks.
