Hello.

I have a problem. When i set up an antispam filter in Outlook Express for
users in our company, i make special folder, where all spam messages are
redirected. But when user wants to browse this folder, he, of course, makes
this folder active by mouse clicking on this folder name. Then, he reads the
first  message in the folder and, for example, decides to delete this
message. He clicks on the "Delete" button on the ToolBar and sees the next
message - "Are you sure want to delete the folder? Yes. No." Frequently, user
even doesn't read this message carefully, and automatically presses the "Yes"
button. So, as result, he deletes this important folder and all spam messages
go to the "Inbox" again. Rare user can understand this situation and can
recreate this folder, unfortunately. So, please, help me to find a solution.
For example, we can't delete folder "Inbox" or "Drafts", etc. How to make not
default folder for spam messages undeletable? Thanks for any help.

You also can't delete Deleted Items.dbx (directly from OE) so why not
make all spam mail go to the Deleted Items folder?

What you can do as a workaround is to disable the folder list from being
always displayed.  Go to View | Layout and enable the folder bar and not the
folder list.  Then with the folder bar enabled, its much harder to select
the entire folder for deletion.

Thank You, Steve!

I've made like You advised. It's a good solution.
