Trash auto purge
I have my trash set at auto purge 31 days but it does not work.
Do Fastmail auto purge once a week or when do they do it? I have clicked save....several times. I just want to delete some old trash not all of it, so I thought the 31 days would be a nice way to do it. |

I have my Trash and Spam folders both set to auto-purge in 31 days, and it's always worked fine. I haven't noticed any problems with either.

Ok thank you.
Perhaps they purge them one a week, I just assumed it was done when you hit refresh. |

I have 1800 + I just wanted to delete half of these but it means un ticking 900 boxes, so I set to auto purge at 31 days, then clicked refresh and was expecting it to work but now I know its ever 24 hours. Thanks again... |

(That's using the normal webmail interface. It might be different in an 'app' for all I know.) |

Thank you....I have now set it to auto purge at 31 days, then hopefully I can forget about it.
