SYMPTOMS
When you view a search folder in Outlook 2003, items that are contained in a deleted folder may still appear.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the search folder searches all folders except for the Deleted Items folder for the type of items that are specified in the search folder. The only exception to this is that the search folder will search any sub-folder in the Deleted Items folder.

Note When you delete a folder, the folder becomes a sub-folder of the Deleted Items folder.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, delete the sub-folder in the Deleted Items folder before you view your search folder. To do this, follow these steps:  Start Microsoft Outlook. If the Folder List does not appear, click the View menu, and then click Navigation Pane. On the Navigation Pane, click Folder List. Expand the Deleted Items folder. Right-click the sub-folder, and then click Delete foldername. Click Yes when you receive the following message:

Are you sure you want to permanently delete all the items and subfolders in the &quot; &quot; folder?

</ol>
