These "controls" are set by drop-downs when we want to use other than the default values.

 

Once set for a new e-mail or reply (or by some configuration screen), how can these be saved to be the default from then on?

I select All, then delete, but still can't delete all messages from Deleted box.....unless I click Empty and then they go.  How can I fix this? Thanks.
So I'm in my Hotmail inbox.  I go to Contacts.  Then I want to go back to my inbox.  There is no link.  Sometimes I have to go all the way out of hotmail & sign in again, which is a big pain in the ---.   Once in awhile the back arrow works, but often it doesn't.
A frequent contact has changed their email address and I can't add it to the "To" dropdown menu even though I have added it to the Contacts list.  Tell me how to delete the old email address from the "To" drop down list and add the new one to the drop down list.
