It’s an old adage that garbage tends to accumulate, even when we’re not looking. This is very true of our email inboxes. A cluttered inbox is not efficient or productive. It’s easier to get in the habit of regularly cleaning your inbox in Hotmail, which has a feature that allows you to schedule cleanups and have them happen automatically. It’s like calling your own cleaning service while you are busy with your other work.
Sign in to your Hotmail account. In case you are redirected to the Windows Live homepage, return to your inbox by clicking the Hotmail button at the top.
Select the email that you want to clean up by checking the box. The email cleanup feature allows you to select multiple senders at once.
Click to scan at the top and select Schedule cleanup.
Clicking on the Schedule Clean option will bring up a window as shown in the screenshot below. As the message box explains, you can choose to move or delete all selected messages from these specific senders. But more importantly, you can set up a future action by selecting any of the three bulleted options.
Please note: If you selected multiple senders in the previous step, the first option “Keep only latest messages from this sender” will not be available. Therefore, you will only be able to delete or move emails.
Give Delete all messages action: you can also choose another time period by clicking on the small arrow which opens a drop-down list showing other time periods available to you.
Give Move all messages action: you can choose where you want Hotmail to deliver your email to. You can also set a new folder for them.
Clicking OK will start scanning and no other user intervention is required.
Scheduling a cleanup in Hotmail to get rid of useless emails is a great little tool that saves you the headache of cleaning up emails like newsletters, work notifications (that you don’t need), and even Important emails can be archived by automatically moving it to a new folder after a certain period of time.
Schedule a cleanup of your Hotmail inbox. Say if you think this feature is an absolute must to avoid burning your fingers when you have to do it manually yourself.
