Deleted Items Folder
 

Is there any reason why Incoming e-mails would go into the Deleted Items
Folder when the recipient has NOT put the Sender in the Blocked Senders
List? This has happened more than once to e-mails I've sent to a friend
(she had to remove my name from the Blocked Senders List, but she hadn't put
it there). Then recently it happened to another friend, he discovered
e-mails from a friend of his were in the Deleted Items Folder.

Only Blocked Senders, Message Rules and some spam programs can cause this.

This person wouldn't have put the person in Blocked Senders, and he has no
clue what Message Rules are (therefore wouldn't put the person there). By
spam programs, do you mean anti-spam programs? And where/how could he
"search deeper"?

You have no idea how many people have posted here that they accidentally
added an address into Blocked Senders. (AKA, not on purpose). Have them
check to be sure.

Find and remove a Blocked Sender address:

OE | Tools | Message Rules | Blocked Senders List | Highlight the first
address on the list | Click: Modify | Type in address you want to remove.
Prompt: "This address already exists, are you sure you want to replace it?"
Click Yes. The address will now be at the top of the list. Remove it.

He has no clue what message rules are? Do you? Can you explain them to him?

And by a spam program, I do mean an anti-spam program. Some can send mail to
Deleted Items.

By search deeper, I meant that these three things are the /only/ things that
can send messages to Deleted Items. Search deeper ment to double check all
three of these possibilities.

With a message open it is quite easy when in a rush to click on the
wrong option on the Message dop down menu.

Oh, I knew to have him look in the Blocked Senders list, and he did find
that name, along with two others, and I told him how to remove them, and he
did, and he's now a Happy Camper. I thought you meant there was some other
explanation. Yes, I know what Message Rules are, but to set one of those
you have to deliberately go through the various menus to get there. He
says although he has an anti-virus program he doesn't have an anti-spam
program. He knows now that he'll have to periodically check his Deleted
Items for Incoming Mail that accidentally winds up there (before permanently
deleting). And if he finds any, to go to Blocked Senders list.

With a message open it is quite easy when in a rush to click on the
wrong option on the Message dop down menu.


Doesn't even have to be open, just selected; then press the wrong key
when aiming for Alt-M,a and hit Alt-M,S by mistake and not realize it.
