I have been deleting unnecessary emails from my outlook client application, but recently observed that the emails are not being deleted from the server. My mailbox is 97% full and it is giving warning that I will not be able to send or receive emails once the mailbox is at 99%.

I am trying to delete emails, but they are keep coming back. I tried deleting emails in several ways, but the emails are not getting deleted.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

    Hello Ishaq,

    My solution, suggested by Microsoft, was to go back to Outlook Classic. I did this and have had no problems since.

    The "new" Outlook has many bugs in it and is, basically, still in Beta. You're correct, terrible for a company like Microsoft to launch a product that is unstable.

    I have Microsoft 365 (formerly Office) and the remote support assistant set me up.

    The live support link is (for the UK) Contact Us - Microsoft Support (https:// support.microsoft.com / en-gb / contactus), you may need to use something different for your part of the world.

    I also disconnected OneDrive, it's more trouble than it's worth, I backup on an external drive and share using Google Drive.

    Hope this helps.

    Not sure if you’re still looking for the solution on how to Find the cache exchange mode I have an iPhone so I asked Siri how to change that so you may want to Google it and you’ll get the answer. I have a full description in picture to go on the outlook website. Also use the Mail app but you have to go on the Outlook website, but I’ll give you pictures on how to do it. I hope this helps.
