can deleted items ALL just go into the main Deleted items folder?

Hi all, I am wondering if there is a way to delete an email, and have it
just go straight to Deleted items in the main folders...?? As it is, with
numerous email accounts in WMLD I have to manually go in to each account and
moved the deleted items there to the main deleted items folder.
Once I delete them, I need them all in one place.

Thanks!

Tim

I don't see Desktop in Microsoft Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606.

Why don't you create a 'Deleted but still want to keep' folder.
Move messages to that folder.
Deleted messages should be messages that you don't want to keep.

Ronald thanks for the effort, but I guess you missed the meaning of my
question. But you wanted to chime in anyway to sound important by pointing
out that WLM and WLMD have essentially morphed into just WLM now. Good for
you. Kudos also on knowing your own personal definition of "deleted
messages."

I was asking how to have all the messages that I delete go automatically
into the Deleted Items folder.... I do not want to have to go through all
the individual account Deleted items folders to drag deleted messages into
the main Deleted items folder....

Not sensible.

I want to delete messages in SOME accounts and leave them in others.

Don't DRAG them -- just delete them from the individual folders.

Wake Up!

Piece of cake.

What is the reason for wanting to move deleted messages to one folder?
Most of the time when I delete message, I use Shift + Delete. This bypasses
the deleted folder.
Why don't you create a message rule to move all email to the main Inbox?
Then, when you delete it will be in the main deleted folder.

Your problem description is not very clear. What do you mean by
"Deleted items in the main folders"?
There is no so thing as a "main deleted items folder".
If you don't want to go into the individual Deleted Items folders,
simply set up a Quick View for all Deleted Items.

Hey Ron,
Here's the reason: I have 6 email accounts in WLM - if I delete an email,
it goes to that account's individual deleted items folder. So over the
course of 3 or 4 weeks, I will then have 6 different folders to look through
to find a message I need. Yeah, I know, it has been deleted, blah blah
blah..... but we all know all too well, that fortunately we get two bites at
the deleted apple. I don't know how many times I have needed to retrieve a
"deleted" email for whatever reasons, or check it for an address, phone
number, etc.

It also means that when I decide to delete past emails, I have to now go in
to 6 separate deleted folders just to actually delete email. As opposed to
Outlook Express where every email that got deleted ended up in the same big
"global" deleted folder.

If there were a Quick View for "ALL deleted mail," that would solve my
problem, but there is not. So I have to open 6 separate accounts to either
Find or Delete emails.

In 12.0.1606 there is no option for an All Deleted Quick View; that would
be great if there were. But even if there were I would still have open 6
different Deleted folders just to delete email.

secondly, I have a Deleted items folder in the same place it always was in
OEx6; there on the left with Outbox Inbox - Sent Items - Junk Email -
Drafts. Right over in that list is a main Deleted Items folder with a
little trash can next to it.

I stand corrected. "Quick views" doesn't have an option for
All Deleted Items, a major omission in my opinion.

Are you referring to the Deleted Items folder that is under
"Storage folders"? That's only meant for holding deleted newsgroup
messages and other items deleted from folders under Storage
folders.

In OE, default folders should not be used for long term storage.
Make a user created folder and move messages to that folder.

You can do the same thing in WLM.
After highlighting a message, right click, Move to folder.
