Hi Aditya,

Thank you for your question. 

By my testing, there are 5 folders which we didnt delete. It is a system necessary folder.

There are Deleted Items, Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Sync Issues.

Could you tell me that why you want to delete it? We could hide it by the following methods:

1: In the Bottom of the Navigation Pane you shall find the following Option (Mail, Calendar, Contacts,) Click on the option that says Mail, this will hide the hidden folders.

2: Clicking on the Folder List button present at the bottom of the navigation pane (Where we see the folder icon).

3: Incase if you do not see the Option for Folder list at the bottom of the Navigation Pane, then please do the following:  At the Top Click on the View Ribbon > Navigation Pane > Options > You will get a Window called Navigation Pane Options > Check the Box that says Folder List and move it up the list using the  Move Up option. Now you would find the Folder list option at the bottom of the Navigation Pane. > Clicking it will Un-hide /Hide the hidden folder visible in the navigation list.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim

hi Jim,

Idea is to get rid of weird syn log emails in sync issues folder. I tried configuring a rule to auto-delete these emails but no luck . Hiding it from navigation would still have it there in database i want a way to to get rid of these emails if not from folder itself but certainly not hiding it. Please suggest.

Appreciate your help jim ,its not about space but indeed got a requirement from management to wipe out all emails of syn logs as in they arrive or indeed get rid of syn issues folder itself (apparently not possible in standard OL in cached mode), looking out for a generic way to get this done for entire organization . any sug
