I have a "spam" folder in O.E. All my "spam" is sent there by my spam filter (SpamPal). How do I delete the spam directly from this folder? Even "shift-delete", just sends these entries to the "Deleted" folder (where Delete will permananently get rid of them. I want to be able to check the Spam folder for "false positives", and then dump them directly. How do I bypass the deleted folder?
 
select the entries you want to delete, hold down "shift" and click on delete. This works in Outlook, maybe it works in Express, too.

if you don't know, ask.
 
As I mentioned in my post, that doesn't work. I even tried to move them somewhere else: there is no "move to" choice in the dropdown list.
 
micker,
I apologize, didn't catch that when I first read your post.

if you don't know, ask.
