Sending deleted messages to the deleted message folder
In Outlook 2003 when I finish reading a message, I want to delete it but want
it to go to the deleted message folder, in case I need it later. Do I have to move each message to the deleted folder once I have deleted it or is there a way to have them move automatically to the deleted folder when I close Outlook? I know to not check the box to empty the deleted folder upon closing. Bill Case |

If you delete a message, it goes to the deleted items folder automatically.
Is this not working? Are you perchance using an IMAP account? Note - the deleted items folder is *not* a good place to store anything. If you think you might need something later, don't delete it. You don't keep your crystal champagne flutes in your kitchen wastebasket, do you? :-) CASE1212 wrote: In Outlook 2003 when I finish reading a message, I want to delete it but want it to go to the deleted message folder, in case I need it later.

I believe it is an IMAP account. In fact, I just checked and it is an IMAP.
Any suggestions? "Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]" wrote: If you delete a message, it goes to the deleted items folder automatically. Is this not working? Are you perchance using an IMAP account?

I don't have such an account handy - but I believe with IMAP the messages
aren't really cleared until you select 'purge'. CASE1212 wrote: I believe it is an IMAP account. In fact, I just checked and it is an IMAP. Any suggestions?
