For several reasons I'm trying to create a folder that has the same
property as the "Deleted Items" folder and the "Junk E-mail" folder, where
a right click produces a "Empty ... folder" option.

I've tried copying and renaming the Deleted Items folder to no avail.

Any ideas?

Cheers

AFAIK, it's not possible. If it were, you'd probably need to do some hacking
of the mapi properties on the folder.

I don't believe that's possible, at least with the GUI.

thanks for the rapid response - I guess that property is buried inside a
registry key.

I guess I'll invent a rule to do something similar.

its more likely buried in the mailbox, not controlled by a registry key.

I'd be very surprised if this were the case. I believe it is code within
Outlook that handles those two folders differently.

Dianne, Brian

thanks for the further response - I hate hard coded stuff when the registry
is designed (?) to allow flexibility...

Cheers
