Outlook should permanently delete from Junk e-mail folder

[Guest]

Using Outlook 2003. When deleting from the "Junk E-mail" folder, it should
not go into the "Deleted Items", but be deleted permanently. This will
prevent "trash" from cluttering up the "Deleted Items". At least the option
would be nice.

Why waste time deleting items manually from the junk folder at all? You can
set the Junk E-mail folder to AutoArchive all items older than a day and
permanently delete those items. You'll still have a few items there (usually
40 or less on my machine), but they'll disappear on their own in a day or
two, depending on how often you have AutoArchive set to run.

It does permanently delete them, if you choose the "Empty Junk E-mail
Folder" option.

Meanwhile you can hold the shift key down while clicking delete to
permanently delete any letter without sending it to Delete folder.

Even less trouble is to set the Junk E-mail folder to autoarchive on a short interval. No need to delete anything manually at all.
