Deleted mail - bypass deleted folder?

Years ago I had a Macintosh SE and it would let you hold the shift key
while deleting a mail message and it would be an instant total delete.
Really saved
filling up the deleted messages folder with junk. Is that possible with
Windows
Mail?

Hi Ron,

Almost. You can delete messages as usual to send them to the "Deleted Items" folder, then set have it automatically empty the "Deleted Items" folder when you exit Windows Mail.

See these setting in Windows Mail main window:
1. Click Tools -> Options
2. Click Advanced tab
3. Click Maintenance button
4. Check "Empty messages from....."
5. Click Close and then OK
