As allways ive let my emails go out of control, i think im touching on nearly 100,000 emails in my inbox, I know its only taking up a mear 10% of my inbox quota but i feel i need to do a bit of house keeping on them.

The question is, is there a quicker way that making my way through 800 odd pages of emails and deleting them page by page.
What i mean is is there an opion to show more than 20 emails per page, or just a way of deleting the whole inbox in one fail swoop.

I've had a look but cant see anything.

Not possible (I think). Hotmail is purely web-based, not POP3 or IMAP, so you can't use an email client.

I will try it later, I have hotmail setup on my phone via pop3 so would assume you can. I know you used to have to have a premium account to be able to do it

In Outlook express you could likely just use the http setting. In older versions there used to actually be hotmail listed in the drop down of account types.

Here you go Chubbs, easier to google it than type the settings in my phone, which I just checked and they do work in Outlook:

There's an easier way to do it. Download this from MS:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?FamilyID=9a2279b1-df0a-46e1-aa93-7d4870871ecf&displaylang=en

Run it and then it will start outlook. Fill in the details and it syncs is all for you. I haven't tested for deletion of emails yet, POP3 didn't remove them from hotmail though Sad
