"Direct" delete in OE 6?

In Outlook Express 6 (running unders Windows XP), is there any simple way to "directly" delete selected items. By "directly" delete I mean completely delete, not sent them to the Deleted Items folder first.

This would be useful for dumping spam email, while still allowing "higher quality" items to be saved in Deleted Items for possible later review

It seems that there ought to be a keyboard shortcut for this function.
Please inform me, if there is.

With the message header highlighted, Shift + Delete. You'll be
prompted Do you want to permanently delete, but it will bypass the
Deleted Items folder.

Alternatively, if you are doing this because you are saving mail in
Deleted Items, bad move.

Do not archive mail on default OE folders. They will eventually
become corrupted. Create your own user defined folders for storing
mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder
regularly.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually
while working *offline* and do it often.

FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar).
FileFolderCompact all folders.

This is the THIRD post the OP has made and which has been replied to - the
other was in one of the Outlook groups. I gave the information and directed
him here for OE questions!

Yes, I received an error message after each post attempt, so I assumed that they weren't being made. Is there any way to delete the second and third.

Your response the my original question was just what I was looking for.

Don't worry about deleting them. If the problem is solved, that's all
that matters.
