How long are items in the Trash and Bulk Mail Folders kept?

Items in these folders are never deleted by the system; you completely control this. If you click SIGN OUT when you leave SBC MailLink, the TRASH folder will be deleted automatically if your preferences are set to this. The BULK MAIL folder should be cleaned our periodically; there is a DELETE ALL button for the contents of this folder. Note that items that are deleted from these two folders are not recoverable. If you delete an item from the INBOX or a personal folder, it will be in the TRASH folder for recovery (as long as the TRASH folder has not been cleaned out). Also note the BULK MAIL and TRASH folders counts against the mailbox quota.
