Automatically delete items from the Deleted Items folder (Outlook)

When you want to delete a message, you can either click on it and press the [Delete] key, click on it and drag it into the Deleted Items folder in the Folder List, right-click on it and select Delete from the shortcut menu, etc. Normally, you delete items because you don't need them and you don't want them taking up valuable space in Outlook. When you delete a message, it's sent to the Deleted Items folder, which by default isn't emptied automatically.

You can easily change this, though, so items in the Deleted Items folder are deleted for good when you exit Outlook. To do so, simply select Tools Options. Click on the Other tab, and then select the Empty The Deleted Items Folder Upon Exiting check box. Then, click OK. Now, every time you exit Outlook, the items in the Deleted Items folder are ancient history!
