Hi Paul, I don't think that's necessary. The action to "Delete Mail" in schedules deletes the mail permanently, bypassing the Deleted Items folder. That's why when you run a schedule to delete mail from a folder, Entourage prompts you and asks you to confirm the action (that is, unless you've chosen not to see that confirmation dialog any longer).
