Turn off the preview pane. (You can put a button on the Toolbar to toggle
the preview pane on and off.) Now you can select the messages you want to
delete without opening them. If there are more than one, hold down the
control key as you click on each. Then clicking on the Delete button or
pressing the Delete key will delete them all at once.

To delete messages without sending them to the Deleted Items folder,
select one or more messages in the message list, then hold down the Shift
key and press the Delete key.

Email that is obviously spam regularly gets into my inbox. Is there a way to permanently delete an email or group of emails without opening them first? Every time I select them to delete, they appear in the preview pane.

Is there a way to competely delete an email from the inbox, without sending it to the deleted folder?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
