Ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Until such time as you are able to sort out the problem of automatically deleting emails in the deleted folder, try selecting all the files within the folder i.e. click on the first email in the deleted list, then Ctrl A then SHIFT key plus delete key.
Good luck.
