Permission to delete messages but not the folder

[SarahC]

I was wondering if there was a way in Outlook to allow users access t
delete emails or move them to another folder but not allow them t
delete the actual folder itself?
We have had a problem where a user deleted a whole folder rather tha
an individual email and we would like to restrict the access.
If this is possible are there any restrictions on the version o
Ouloook that this functionality is available in?
Thanks
Sara

If the folder is within the user's own data store (PST or mailbox), there is
no way to restrict the access. They can do what they wish with their own
data however ill-advised it may be.

The folder is in a shared email account, does this change anything?

Examine the permissions on the folder and its parent.
