Any Visual Basic programmers out there?

I'm looking for a script or macro that can delete emails from my Outlook program. I have all the junk mails sent to an address and would like to have a macro just delete them permenently from the trash bin automatically. I get about a thousand a day. The filter works great, but I am manually deleting them.
There is a world of talent here on the WERA BBS so I'm looking for some help. Thanks

 

Ever think of changing your email address Doug? Seriously.

 

is deleting everything not an option? I know in outlook you can have items deleted permanently instead of going to "deleted items"

 

or this:

Emptying Deleted Items When Exiting Outlook

Emptying deleted items every time you exit Outlook is a good maintenance practice to adopt. The process is simple and performing it can save you time in the long run. When exiting Outlook, a warning dialog box may appear confirming that you want to empty your deleted items folder. You can disable this warning as explained below.

1.

From the Tools menu, select Options...
The Options dialog box appears.
2.

Select the Other tab
options dialog box
3.

Select Empty the Deleted Items folder upon exiting
4.

OPTIONAL: To suppress the warning:
1.

Click ADVANCED OPTIONS...
The Advanced Options dialog box appears.
2.

Click to deselect Warn before permanently deleting times
3.

Click OK
5.

Click OK

 

What version of Outlook?

 

And then you have the option of using auto archive..... just auto archive the deleted items folder to where it deletes anything more than 1 day old.......

 

Thanks, Lemme try those ideas.
Jeff, I did change my email addy, but them durn Chinee are sending out spam mail using my domain name, so I get a shit load of mailer-daemons as well as a bunch of to [email protected] emails that aren't even my accounts. I had them sent to a special email and sorted thru them for a while right after I changed my addy so I wouldn't lose important customers emails, but now that they all know my new mail, I just need to dump them.

Version 2000 SR1..... not my default mail program. Only checks the one account continuously. I leave it open and then dump the deleted items every morning. I'll check my filter and see if I can permently delete them.

 

Change your password lately?

 

Hell no. It took a year to remember just one.
I'm old, doncha remember?

If I understand what you want to do (automatically delete every inbound e-mail) this will do it.

1. Open the Rules Wizard - Tools... Organize... Rules Wizard. The Rules Wizard dialog box will appear.

2. Click on the New... button. The new rule dialog box will appear.

3. Select "Check messages when they arrive" in the rule type listbox, then click the Next> button.

4. Click the Next> button without selecting any conditions.

5. Click the Yes button on the message box that appears to apply the rule to every message.

6. Check "permanently delete it" and "stop processing more rules" from the what do you want to do listbox.

7. Click the Finish button, and then the OK button.

 

Thanks Frank, that did it. I did add one other rule. If it was actually to "me" I kept it. My primary goal was to keep from clogging up the server and your idea worked perfectly. Thanks Guys. The WERA BBS comes thru again. You're much better than asking Jeeves, that silly bastid.
