The only Deleted Items that gets emptied on exit is the main PST deleted items. Since the original poster uses rules to move emails to other PST's those do not get deleted and need to be manually deleted by right clicking on the deleted folder and selecting empty. When using multiple PST files, each PST file has its own Deleted Items folder, but there is only one Inbox or any other Special Folder (drafts, sent items) and those are stored in the main PST file. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vincent Winterling Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 7:55 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Automatically empty junk mail Outlook 2003 (resending) You probably already know that you can set deleted items to delete at exit. Beyond that I was confused by your setup and description thereof. I have the folder list view and can only see one deleted items folder and it is not located within the inbox.

Some of these then get deleted but because they are not deleted to the Inbox Deleted Items they can sit in the PST Deleted Items folder forever if I don't remember to empty it manually. Is there any way of configuring PST Deleted Items folders to empty on exiting Outlook?
