Deleted Items folder files disappear

[gwoodall]

I know that Hotmail empties their deleted email folder a couple of times a week. I assume that MSN is the same way. My best guess is that they empty their "deleted items" then you connect and attempt to get new emails it will sync up your folders to theirs and voila! Those emails are now gone.

Thanks for the reply. I contacted MSN and they say they have no idea why this is happening, that their server has nothing to do with OE. So, I'm still in the dark. If your guess is correct, how do I turn OFF the folders sync feature?
