I too have multiple PST files and accounts. I believe I have only one Profile
although I have not looked into that feature. I had a similar complaint. I
have turned off the automatic emptying of the Deleted Items on Exit but my
complaint is that no matter which account I am in the Empty Deleted Items
option under the Tools menu will only empty the default Deleted Items folder.

I could understand having to change accounts to have it work on each one but
that does not work either. It seems to me to be a related and similar pain. I
have to go into the alternate Deleted Items folders manually and clean it out.

Thank you.
