On my iMac G5, I have Entourage set (under tools, schedules)"Empty deleted items folder" on quit. I quit every evening; the folder is never emptied. I do it manually.

It is the deleted items folder under "Folders on my Computer" - listing shows: Inbox, Drafts, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Junk Mail." In other words, it's the deleted items that holds all the received messages which I delete before or after I read them. The junk mail rule does work.

As I've used Entourage for years, there are other Mail Identities that appear under folders on my computer from earlier Entourage versions. The is also a MobileMe trash - the latter does purge on exit. The Entourage one does not and never has.

IF I could figure out how to delete this post I would - I found the reason. Under the rule "deleted items" on quit - the schedule didn't list "deleted items" but junk mail. SO I redid it with "deleted items" and quite Entourage and it deleted just fine. Why I didn't think of checking before I posted, I can't answer.
