    Deleted Items Folder: Where Are The Deleted Messages


    Hi, Could someone please tell me why my deleted messages are deleted from the computer instead of going to my Deleted Items Folder? I "do not" have the box checked from Menus - Options - Advanced - Maintenance - Empty messages from the "Deleted Items" folder on exit. Your help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Ray

    Has it ever worked properly?

    Hi.

    Which OS are you actually using, and knowing which program you're using might help to diagnose the issue.

    Hi,
    No, it's never worked properly. Once I delete a message in my inbox, it's
    permanently gone. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate and I am using Windows Live Mail. Thanks, Ray

    Strange, works fine for me with both Hotmail and Gmail accounts. Have you got the "Use the Deleted Items Folder" checked?

    could be that your OS is set to perm delete... Did you disable your recycle bin by any chance?

    2nd: Do you have any rules set for "deleted" items through your outlook client?

    Can you post a screenshot of ALL of you folders fully expanded, just the left side with folders? Including all inboxes and Storage Folders, etc? Blur any personal info.

    Hi,
    My screen shot looks just like FZ21Z above. I don't see where to check "Use the Deleted Items Folder." My recycle bin is active (not disabled). I also have Office Outlook 2007, but it "is not" set as my default program for email. When I'm in/using Outlook, the deleted message folder does work properly. My problem is in Windows Live Mail only. As for adding screen shots for you, I used the Snip tool and tried to copy/paste, but my paste function wouldn't work within this message box. As for all my Rule options in my client, all looks good. Thanks, Ray

    :) Hi, After surfing around and clicking on about everything, I did notice something. Upon clicking on either one of my email account panes, I can go into that particular "Deleted Items" folder and the deleted email is there. The only place that my deleted emails don't go is in the Deleted Items under Storage Folders. Is there a way to force deleted items from both accounts to go there? A deleted folder would be nice under the Quick View as well. Thanks for all your help, Ray

    setup a rule that will move those 'delete' emails to that folder on both accounts.
