Hello,

I am trying to add a field in the Deleted Items folder
that reflects the date the item was deleted from the
Inbox. This was something Groupwise can do but I can't
seem to find a way for Outlook to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance...
 
You should be able to see the date and item was deleted by using the
following steps:
1. Open Outlook to the Deleted Items folder.
2. Right click on the Header Row (ex. From, Subject, Received, Size.....)
and select Field Chooser.
3. Use the drop down arrow and select Date/Time Fields.
4. Drag the Modified header to the Header Row.
5. The Modified header should reflect the date the object was last moved to
the Deleted Items folder.

I hope this answers your question and resolves your issue. Thank you.

I tried this but the modified date is not the date the item was deleted. I
was looking for this also in Outlook.

This thread was the first one I found when Deja-Googling for sorting
by the deleted date - the solution of using the modifed date works
fine here, running Outlook 2002 (10.4705.4219) SP-2.
 
Here is the answer I received from Microsoft:

*************************************
After reviewing your message, I perform an extensible research and find that
the Modified Date only records the delete operation in the Exchange
environment. If the email account is an Internet Email service, the delete
operation in Outlook is the same as the operations of moving messages to
other folders. Thus, there is no specific status for the delete operation.
Without the message status changed, we cannot track the deleted date.
If you are using an Exchange account and the Modified Date cannot be used to
check the delete date of the deleted items, please do not hesitate to let me
know, I will try all my best to resolve the issue.

If you are using an Internet Email account, I am sorry for the inconvenience
that this by-design feature of our products has caused you. I can understand
how frustrating it is when you find that the product does not meet your
needs.

I am using Internet Email service, and that explains why I couldn't get the
Modified Date to work correctly.
