Emails deleted in outlook not being deleted on Optus server

[WLM]

I use Outlook on my Mac for my email.  

When I delete an email in Outlook it remains in my webmail inbox and hence on my phone.

I had this problem a month or so but it fixed itself - I seems to have recurred about 3 days OK

Are you using Outlook on the Phone? Are the accounts setup the same on the two devices both Imap or PoP ?

[WLM]

I am using the standard iPhone mail app on my phone

Both are set up as Imap

@WLM Have a check of the folder syncronization settings in Outlook.

Where do I find this?

I am constantly getting messages from Optus saying that my mailbox has reached its limit.

I would like to remove emails from the Optus server but cannot find anywhere how to do this.

I am using a Macbook Air

I really need to know this as, after setting up with outlook 2016 they dont delete when downloaded to outlook or my phone!

Hi @@Theresa2553, I have copied and pasted Nard's answer for you to see.

Hi @Theresa2553, you're able to delete emails from the service by logging directly into our Webmail Portal and deleting emails of your choice from there once logged in.

Make sure to also empty your trash folder to make sure they're permanently deleted since email sitting in your trash folder also take up space in your inbox.

For further instructions, you can have a look at our Webmail Guide page.
