PROBLEM
I have set up several rules to manage incoming emails. The rules
direct the emails to topical user-created folders based on either who
the sender is or the content of the subject line.

When a message comes is, say with the word "Adobe" in the subject, the
rules put it in a folder called "Computer Stuff". This works well. I
have several topical folders and the rules do a good job at directing
the messages to the right one.

The problem is that when I delete a message that has been routed by
the rules to a user-created folder, it disappears into the ether. In
other words, it does NOT go into the system "Deleted Items" folder.

Note that messages that are not routed into a user-created folder and
which remain in the system "Inbox" folder do go to the "Deleted Items"
folder when I delete them.

I would like all messages to end up in the Deleted Items folder upon
deletion.

ENVIROMENT
Outlook 2003 on an XP station connected to a Small Business Exchange
Server.

Will appreciate your thoughts on how to correct this problem.

Thanks for your consideration of this problem and for your
suggestions.
