 Deleting mails in deleted folder Hello We're looking for a program which is able to remove messages in the mailbox's "deletetd items" folder. Something like "DELDI <Aliasname> <account> <password>". Note that there is NO solution within Outlook (there are only client-based rules). Can it be done by using MAPI in a Visual Basic program ? Or is there even a simpler way? Daniel

Deleting mails in deleted folder You mean forcing emptying deleted items?

Deleting mails in deleted folder You could just have the Outlook client "empty the deleted items folder upon exiting". This is a standard option under Tools -> Options -> Other. Sean

You can use MAPI, which is pretty ugly when compared to CDO, but I'd use CDO to accomplish this. Quote: >Or is there even a simpler

Besides having the client profiles set to empty the deleted item folder on exit? ------------------

Deleting mails in deleted folder Hello Thanks for all the Feedbacks. I have to clarify some things: This is a so called "autoanswer mailbox". There's nobody never logged in! So ALL client based rules can not be used. The mailbox never gets opened! The best hint came from Rich Matheinsen. But unfortunately I don't know, how to use CDO! Rich, can you explain in a few words, how to do it? Thanks a lot
Daniel

CDO is a COM object. It puts a "wrapper" around the messy details of working with MAPI. If this mailbox is already managed by a program, why cannot the
program be modified to Shift+Delete the messages? That would fix your
problem immediately -- the messages would never go into the Deleted
items folder to begin with.

Deleting mails in deleted folder Hi Rich This Mailbox only gets used to verify the functionality of the mail server.
There's no program. It's not managed by any program.
This mailbox only has a rule which replies to ALL incoming messages by a
server based rule, that's all. Once defined, nobody will ever open this
mailbox again (except when it's filled up, what's exactly my question on how
to clean it by a scheduled program or so?).
Bye

Deleting mails in deleted folder If you use CDO to delete items in the folder, which can be done from a folder script that runs on an event timer, the deleted items won't be sent to the Deleted Items folder. The best place to go for sample code for CDO is www.cdolive.com with many samples located at http://www.cdolive.com/cdo5.htm Siegfried also has many sample folder event scripts at his Web site. A
folder event script would run in the Exchange service context and can
log into the unattended mailbox if you know the mailbox user name and
password.

Why not use a public folder instead of a mailbox? Set the PF to remove message older than one day. Use the "Folder Assistant..." to reply. ------------------

Deleting mails in deleted folder I have never tried to use it, but in exchange administrator if you view the properties for the 'private information store' under the general tab there is the option of 'deleted item retention time'(for all users), this option is also available in each users options under the limits tab. you may wish to play with these settings....
