GMX: Permanently delete emails

There are two options available to you from the email provider to permanently delete your GMX emails. You can find out which these are in this practical tip.

How to permanently delete your GMX emails

All your emails deleted from GMX will initially load in the "Deleted" folder. You decide whether an automatic deletion routine is activated or whether you want to delete your emails manually. Of course, you can also combine both options.

1. First click on "Settings", you will find the option at the bottom left.
2. In the "Settings" go to the "Folder" area and select the "Folder overview".
3. In the "Folder overview" click on the tool symbol behind the "Deleted" folder.
4. In the pull-down menu, various time intervals are suggested in which the "Deleted" folder is automatically emptied by GMX. The rhythm ranges from one day to three weeks to twelve months.
5. Alternatively, you can completely turn off the automatic deletion of your emails by selecting the "Never" option.
