SUMMARY
In Microsoft Outlook, 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.

To view or change the AutoArchive setting, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the View menu, click Folder List.
 * 2) In the Folder List, right-click the folder you want to view or change the AutoArchive setting for, and click Properties on the shortcut menu.
 * 3) The AutoArchive tab contains the setting for the folder. When finished viewing or changing the settings, click OK.

Changing the AutoArchive Setting for All Folders
To view or change the general AutoArchive settings, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) On the Other tab, click the AutoArchive button.
 * 3) When finished viewing or changing the settings, click OK and OK.
