MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2007Setting up a rule for deleting messages based on date deleted
Is there a way to set up a rule to delete messages in the "Deleted" folder based on the date deleted? I am aware that you can set up Outlook to delete messages in the "Deleted" folder upon exit. However, I like to keep the messages in the trash for a week just in case I might need them. At the end of the week, I have been manually deleting them, but I would prefer to have this automated. I haven't been successful in tinkering with the rules to set up a rule base on folder location and date, only by sender regardless of the folder.

Use AutoArchive on the Deleted Items folder (right-click the folder, choose Properties, then AutoArchive) to delete the older messages.

Thank you for the info. However, I am using Outlook in a corporate environment and it appears that I am prevented from using the autoarchive functionality. They use another program to do all of the archiving and I think that program prevents any other archive program from running. I don't even see the autoarchive tab when looking at the properties of the deleted items folder. > > Is there a way to set up a rule to delete messages in the "Deleted" > > folder based on the date deleted?
