Default Outlook 2003 - combine Deleted Items files into one


Hi,

I have to go through three Deleted Items folders in order to
delete all the cr*p. Is there an Outlook option or a rule that someone
can suggest to set up, in a step-by-step fashion, that will combine
these three into one?


Thanks, Feedscrn

By default Outlook only has 1 deleted items folder. What are the other 2?
Are they in 2 other personal folders?

Yes, the way that my PC is configured, there are three total: One
under Mailbox - LastName, First, One under Large Personal Folders, and
one in Personal Folders 1 group of folders.

If possible, I want to deal with one real, or one rules-based
virtual, Deleted Items folder.

That's your Exchange mailbox.

One under Large Personal Folders, and
one in Personal Folders 1 group of folders.


You have 2 Personal Folders?

Outlook can open multiple Exchange mailboxes (if you have proper permission)
and multiple Personal Folders but there can only be 1 default delivery
location, either Exchange mailbox or Personal Folder. When you delete items
in Outlook, they are stored in the Deleted Items folder (at the default
delivery location).

The fact that you have something in the other 2 (non default) Deleted Items
folder makes me think that someone/some rule may be redirecting mail to
those folders.

Try enabling AutoArchive on the two PST-based Deleted Items folders and
configure it to delete items more than, say, two days old.
