move items from Junk Mail to the Deleted Items?

Outlook version? Account type?

Version 2003 and 2007.
Account type pop3, as mentioned.

As a result of using quoted-printable (via Google Groups), I had to edit the Sven's and Milly's posts to show proper indentation (and change Milly's use of "|" to ">" for the quoting character).


POP3, as mentioned? As mentioned was "I want items that I deleted in Outlook to be deleted in my pop account, too." Well, "too" means that you have some OTHER account than a POP account. If you meant when you delete them locally in Outlook that you also want them deleted up in your mailbox on the mail server, that is the default behavior of POP3. When you poll your POP3 mailbox and then download any new e-mails, they get deleted up on the server; that is, your e-mail client does a RETR (retrieve) command to get the e-mails and then issues a DELE (delete) command to get rid of them up in your mailbox. YOU must have changed the default configuration to enable the option to leave messages up on the server, so disable that option. Time to get acquainted with the various options in Outlook by looking.

To automatically get rid of old items in the Junk and Deleted Items folder, read Outlook's help on how to use auto-archiving. You can set auto-archiving on a folder to delete items in that folder that over N days old, where N is whatever you want for a holding interval. If you delete the item, items in the Junk folder get moved the Deleted Items folder, and items in the Deleted Items folder get permanently deleted. Or, rather than have the junk move into deleted and then later get deleted from there, you could select to permanently delete the item. That means junk items will get immediately deleted and not get moved anywhere, like the Deleted Items folder.

Auto-archiving is a 2-part process. You need to enable the global option for auto-archiving. Then right-click on a folder, Properties, and enable auto-archiving on that folder. You need the global option enabled to have auto-archiving get performed anywhere and you need the local option on a folder to specify it happens on that folder. This is much like you need the master breaker on to have electricity delivered anywhere in your house and then need to use individual wall switches to determine where you deliver it for room lights.
