I'm trying to create a folder with the same properties as "Deleted Items" and
"Junk E-Mail", i.e. be able to delete the contents from the right-click menu.
I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Rick

That's not possible. Outlook provides no way to create more folders with that behavior. You might want to consider using AutoArchive to empty that folder regularly.

Hi, for no particular reasons, I'm not able to open my outlook and the system
indicating "not valid file or something". After I import archive file, all my
previous settings are gone. I manage to set-up again but just cannot create a
Junk Mail folder with similar properties as before, such as right click on
folder and empty folder etc... Please help
