can you write a rule to automatically put mail in trash
when deleted so you don't have to remember to clear out
deleted items?
 
Susan,

In Outlook 2002 you can go to TOOLS/OPTIONS/OTHER and the
top area is called GENERAL. You can select a box which
will EMPTY DELETED ITEMS ON EXITING (Outook).

Early versions of Outlook also had that ability, but I'm
not sure exactly how to get to it.

Is there a way to have a Rule do that with certain items (like virus spam) so it can remove them
from Deleted Items automatically as they come in and get deleted?
 
Mr. B.,

In Outlook 2002 Rules Wizard you can specify that an
email that meets certain specification be permaently
deleted, or send to a specified folder.

The hard part is figuring out if it's a 'virus spam'.

To do what you want to do I'd suggest you configure your
virus checker (McGaffe, Norton, etc...)to delete the
file. All of the virus checkers I've seen allow you to
choose to quarantine or remove the identified file.
