I am using Outlook 2007 (in Office 2007). (Windows XP Pro SP 3 – fully up to
date with all updates and patches).

I am very picky about the cleanliness and organization of my folders.

I can't figure out how to empty 2 or more "Deleted Items" folders. I use
Outlook to manage multiple e-mail accounts. Each account has its own
“Deleted Items” folder. When I check e-mail in account #1 (default account),
#2 or #3 and I delete an e-mail from its “Inbox”, it goes into its respective
“Deleted Items” folder. When I exit Outlook, the “Empty Deleted Items on
Exit” seems to only works on the Default account. How do I get it to work on
multiple accounts, for multiple “Deleted Items” folders?

The only way I can empty the other (account #2 or #3) “Deleted Items”
folders it to perform a right click on the “Deleted Items” folder and select
Empty “Deleted Items” Folder”.

So presumably you either have separate pst files for each account or you are
not using POP accounts? (AFAIK, and I use Outlook 2007) the function to have
each account deliver email to a specific folder as opposed to the general
Inbox folder does NOT set up separate Deleted Items folders for each
account...

What type of Mail accounts pop or?
Are you using seperate Profiles for each account?

Yes, I have seperate PST files for each account (Work, Personal, Family,
Junk, etc.). They are POP e-mail accounts and e-mail sent to each specific
address goes into its respective "Inbox".

For the sake of trial - let's just look at my 2 main accounts (Work &
Personal).
Both are POP and they both have seperate profiles. Both have seperate PST
files.

When you open an Outlook Profile only the account and data file in that
Profile is open - the other Profiles/accounts/data files are completely
seperate and unconnected.
The Empty deleted items on exit, is an option that need to be set on each
Profile, it will only work if that Profile is opened
If it is set (in each Profile), and not working then thats another issue

So as per your reply to DL you have separate Outlook Profiles? If so you can
only open one profile at a time, therefore the emptying of the Deleted Items
on exit must not be checked.

Gordon - sorry for the mistake. I was multi-multi tasking. I do NOT have
seperate profiles. Only 1 profile. I have seperate PST files.

I think you'll find that the "empty Deleted Items on exit" ONLY applies to
the default delivery location, and you can only have ONE pst file as the
default delivery location. (AFAIK....)
