how do I get rid of the g.d. auto delete question for email trash? The cancel button doesn't work and I don't want my trash emptied automatically.

During one of the update downloads, an annoying boxed query was added offering the option of automatically emptying the email trash folder. I do not want that option and have repeatedly clicked on either cancel or the red x. Nothing seems to work and this is very annoying.

I like to keep my inbox as clear as possible, but there have been a number of times when I've had to go back into the trash file to review a past email. I DO NOT want the auto delete function for my trash. PLEASE tell me how to get rid of the option.

That is a website issue with your e-mail provider.
