Is there a way to get Entourage to ³Permanently Delete² an email via a rule?
There seems to not be that option in the ³Actions² fields of the ³Then² part
of the rules. The way it is currently, you still have to spend the time
going to the deleted folder and deleting it again.
Thanks in advance.

Hi David!

Assuming that you're using Entourage 2004, to my knowledge there is no
way to do this. A feature like this is unlikely to be implemented since
it has the potential to permanently delete legitimate messages without
your knowledge.

The best suggestion I can give is to set your rule to move messages you
don't want to see to the "Deleted Items" folder and then set Entourage's
preferences to empty the "Deleted Items" folder when you quit.

Hope this helps! bill
