Bill,
You're welcome. Yes, there is a limit to what the clipboard can handle, and
I don't know that it alerts you that it has exceeded that limit. Have a
great weekend.
Donna

Hi, Donna.
Thanks for the tip.
I found the empty deleted items folder option in toos as you had indicated.
Chris' suggestion about select all hadn't worked, which was what I first
tried, perhaps because the volume of the folder was so large.
You make a good point about not deleting automatically. In fact I
discovered the problem when I went to retrieve your tip about tab in Word.
I thought I might need that sometime.
Have a good Labor Day weekend.

Bill,
I use Outlook 2003, but the choices are still there in 2007, just maybe
organized a little differently. Yes, you can select all and delete, but
there are easier ways, and you don't have to be in the Deleted items folder
to do these.
I know of two other ways. First is that there's a "empty deleted items
folder" option under the tools menu. This is what I use. When you enter on
this option, Outlook asks if you're sure you want to permanently delete
these items, which you have to OK. It's a lot faster than using the Windows
clipboard.
The other is to check the checkbox for "empty the Deleted Items folder upon
exit." In 2003, this is alt t for tools, uparrow to options and shift+tab to
the "Other" tab, then tab once.
I'm not comfortable with just allowing Outlook to empty it on exit every
time, in case I've made a mistake, so I just do it occasionally using the
first option.
HTH,
Donna

Good day.
I had assumed that each time I start Outlook 2007 the contents of the
deleted items folder would be gone, but obviously this isn't the case since
I have thousands of old emails stacked up there.
Is there a keyboard sequence to delete all the folder contents without doing
each one individually or having someone do it with the mouse?
