Default Deleting Contacts - Contacts v/s GAL Contacts

Outlook Version 11.8204.xxxx SP3
Clients are Connected to Exchange 2003
No Cached mode is used.


Symptom:

When a Contact is deleted for the Contacts folder, it is 'moved' to Deleted
Items folder, but when deleted from Address Book IconContacts (show Names
from)highlight a contact, right click DeleteOK it does not go to the
Deleted Items.

As BlackBerry sync uses 'Deleted Items' to synchronize, Contacts deleted via
Address Book icon do not get synchronised with BB. Also the same Contact does
to get 'deleted' from the Contacts Folder.

Question:
1. How would you setup Outlook so that when Contact Items are deleted from
Address Book icon, it goes to Deleted Items' folder?
2. How would the Contacts Folder be 'refreshed' with the deleted contact
when done from Address book Icon.?. PS: Send/Receive does not update it.

Contacts should never be manipulated from the Address Book interface.
Deleting something there will usually result in deleting the email address
associated with the contact but will not delete the contact itself.

You cannot. It doesn't contain any data to delete.

You cannot.
