Hi, when I right click on my Deleted Items folder or my "Junk E-mail" I have
the option to "empty" the folder, however, in my "Spam" folder, like all the
other folders I created, I don't have that option.  But I want that option.
I would greatly appreciated any help with this.

Thank you,

Gordy

Outlook does not create a "Spam" folder.  It creates Junk Mail folders.  You
may have a third party software that does this - in that case, apply your
suggestion to the makers of that software.

I realize this.  I am just wondering if there is a way that I can get the
"spam" folder to give me the option to "empty" it the same way the delete
and junk mail folder can.

Ok, well Im not trying to be difficult, but if it can be done for one
folder, it can be done for another-  Does anybody have any suggestions?

The reason for Junk E-mail and Deleted Items mail folders have the 'Empty
Junk E-mail Folder' and 'Empty Delete Items Folder' in the pop-up context
menu is that Microsoft programmed it that way in Outlook 2003.  The Junk
E-mail and Deleted Items mail folders are designated mail folders in
Outlook.

User created mail folders in Outlook 2003 do not have this feature.
