Dear friends:

I use Outlook 2003, and I want to set a rule that automatically
completely deletes all the messages that are labeled as SPAM from my
ISP. I didn't have any problem to create the rule, but when I run it,
Outlook says that I don't have the permissions to do the automatic
deletion.

But, I don't have any problem if the rule says that these messages
should be moved to the "Deleted" folder, and after that, I clean the
"Deleted" folder manually.

Why can I not do it automatically? How can I set the necessary
permissions?

Thanks

What type of account?

Brian, do you mean "WinXP account" or "Outlook Account"?

If you mean "WinXP account", I have administrator rights.

If you mean "Outlook account", they are POP mail and Hotmail type of
accounts.

This is what I mean. Are you using the Outlook connector for the Hotmail
account? If not, I don't think you can delete messages there.

I don't use any extra product to access the hotmail accounts. I
declared one of my accounts as an "Hotmail" type, the other two as
POP.

For what account do you wish to have a rule that deletes?

For a POP one.

Let me see if I understand. If instead of choosing the "delete it" action,
you choose the "permanently delete it" action, then when the rule runs
Outlook gives you the error you described in your original post, is that
correct?

I'm afraid I can't explain it. Hopefully someone else will.
