2003 & Junk Mail Folder

[Mark Piontek]

I had McAfee anti-virus, and I think that's how I got this Junk Mail folder,
but now I have Norton and Norton has a Spam folder, so now I have a junk
mail folder that I want to delete... but I can't.

So, anyone know how to delete a folder that wont let you delete it??

Thanks!!

You cannot delete the Junk E-mail Folder as it is a folder created by
Outlook and required for the built in Junk E-mail Filter.

Can't you configure Norton to use the Junk E-mail Folder instead?
