I have just bought a new computer that has Windows Mail installed. I have
tried to set the program so that emails I have sent to delete are GONE#
(deleted) automatically when I exit the program. I have gone into Tools,
Options, Advanced and Maintenance and checked the box that allaows for the
automatically deletion of emails. I check the box but it does not stay
checked and the program does not do what I want it to do.
Any suggestions woulod be appreciated.

Are you running either Norton or McAfee AV?

I'm not running either Norton or MacAfee. I have the Microsoft protection that was installed on the computer when I got it yesterday.

Norton is pre-installed on many new machines. Check to see if you have it.

Actually it's pre-loaded, not installed. You have a chance to cull it when
you start up a new machine if you want, but you do have to recogize this.

Depends on the supplier.
Last machine I bought they wanted to charge me for it. I said that not only
would I not pay for Norton, if I found any trace of Norton on the machine I
would bring it back for cleaning and not pay for that.

My experience has been on about 20 machines, or so that I brought up, was
that they all attempted an "install process". The first one I didn't
realize I had a choice. But the rest, I stopped. I can see that one would
have an impression it was just part of the setup process the OS was going
through since it looked seemless. So my experience has been 100%. But I
have to concede that this is a tiny sample and some manufacturers could have
their OEM disk configured in an already Installed way. It would be a no
brainer for them to do that. Or, it could be the retailer who brought the
machine up for you and went through that process. I just ask that the next
time you bring up a new system, notice the state of Norton and how it comes
up.
