OL98: AutoArchive Permanently Deletes Old Deleted Items

• Microsoft Outlook 98

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Outlook 98, the default AutoArchive setting for the Deleted Items folder is to permanently delete old items.

MORE INFORMATION

The AutoArchive feature is the automatic, periodic deletion or moving of items to another folder based on the length of time the items have been in the folder. AutoArchive can be set for most folders and the folders created by Outlook have certain default settings.

The default setting for the Deleted Items folder is to permanently delete old items instead of moving them to another folder. Some users prefer to archive deleted items the same way they archive other folders, and so need to change the default setting.

1. Right-click the folder you want to view or change the AutoArchive setting for, and click Properties on the shortcut menu.



2. The AutoArchive tab contains the setting for the folder. When finished viewing or changing the settings, click OK.
