Using Microsoft Outlook 2003 with UVM's central email system - Deleting and purging messages

Like webmail and pine, when you delete a message in Outlook, it is marked as deleted. To remove the message permanently, you can select "Purge Deleted Messages" from the Edit menu. However, I find it more convenient to add a Purge button to the tool bar.

 Right-click on the toolbar and choose customize. On the Commands tab, select the Edit category and find the Purge command; drag it to the toolbar.

I rename the toolbar button to just "Purge" to save space. Right-click on the button (while the Customize dialog is still open) and edit the name.
