Can't delete email in outlook.live.com

When I "check mark" an item(s) in any email folder and click on "delete", it appears like it DOES delete them. But if I change from one folder to another and then return to the first one, the mail is still there. More details: I can select up to 5 items (no more or this doesn't work) and click on "delete". Then I must refresh the page, check to make sure they are gone, and repeat for the next 5. If I select more than 5, when I refresh the page they will all still be there. This occurs on all folders (even junk mail). This problem does not happen in other browsers (like Chrome) so it is not a problem with Outlook. This problem started approximately a week to ten days ago.

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

  • make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version
