Re: Outlook Express problem

Really all you need to do to accomplish the task of deleting messages in the
deleted items folder with Outlook Express is to schedule the emptying of the
deleted items folder for when you quit Outlook Express. I think this is the
default setting but you can do it yourself under the Tools menu (Schedules).
