Agreed...it's a significant weakness.
Removing an http account(hotmail, live, msn.com) does not impact the folders or messages residing on the Hotmail server
Comparatively, if removing an http account in Outlook that was in use with the Outlook Connector, the user file associated with that account(*.ost) is not removed from the Outlook message store location/hard drive.

No wonder people end up hating it. No Mail Client should do that..

Removing the account does remove the Inbox and all other account folders
in
WLM and on the hard drive.

Removing the POP3 account would not affect messages already downloaded to
the inbox, no.

If DHR really wants to delete ALL messages for a POP3 Mail Account,
can't
he
just Remove that account at Tools | Accounts...?
Allow me to riff on your post, winston, since DHR has yet to reveal
where
this inbox is located (e.g.,web-mail; Outlook Express; Windows Live
Mail;
Windows Mail; Outlook).
For most locally installed e-mail clients. Access your Inbox, select a
message, press Control A to select all, then press the Delete Key.
If these inbox messages were downloaded via POP3, one can only delete
the
messages and "start over" if the messages remain on the server.

If Hotmail, logon to mail.live.com, click on Inbox(left pane), click
on
the
small box adjacent to the words 'Sort by'(doing so will select all
messages
in the folder) then click on Delete(in the Toolbar, directly above the
'Sort by')
When deleting messages in volume, it usually appropriate to make one
final
check prior to performing a global deletion.

I like the new fomrat, but want to start over. Is there ANY way to
"check
all" and then delete ALL 700+ messages in my inbox? I truly really
want
to
wipe out the whole show and start over (I'm making new preferences
&c).
HELP!!
