Delete an item

[Bob Smith]

vb6 - using item.delete moves the item into a deleted Items folder. Does
anyone know how I could delete without putting the item in the delete items
folder (sure delete)? I also want to make sure the item is not recoverable.

You could use CDO 1.21 or Redemption (www.dimastr.com). Or with the Outlook
object model you'd need to track the folder's ItemAdd event and delete the
item again.

So there is no way of nativly doing a SHIFT-DELETE? using ItemAdd would still
mean the item ends up in the recover deleted items folder

Depends on what is "nativly". With the OOM there's no direct way. But using
ItemAdd the item doesn't end up in the deleted items folder - it would be
there for just a few milliseconds.
