Deleting contacts permanenetly

[John]

Hi

When I use Itemcontact.delete the contact is deleted and ends up in deleted
items folders. Is there any way the contact does not end up in deleted items
folder when it is deleted via code?

Thanks

Regards

Not using the Outlook object model, no. If you use CDO 1.21 or Redemption
(www.dimastr.com/redemption) or Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi only) you can
delete items permanently while bypassing Deleted Items. Otherwise you have
to handle ItemAdd on the Deleted Items folder's Items collection and then
delete those items again from Deleted Items.
