How do I eliminate items from my Sent Folder.

You can set your Sent item to NOT be saved by automatically.

1. From the Tools Menu choose Options then click the E-mail button.  If you don't want your Sent items to be saved automatically, uncheck  "Save copies of messages in the Sent Items Folder."

   If you prefer to Save Copies of your Sent items, you need to periodically delete them from your Sent Items folder.  Otherwise, they will accumulate indefinitely.

1. Click the Sent Items Folder (The Sent Items folder can be found under My Shortcuts on the Outlook Bar on the left side of your screen, or from the Folder list)

2. Select items to be deleted.  You can select multiple items by holding down the CTRL key ( non-contiguous items)  or the Shift key ( continguous items)

3. Press the <Delete> key on your keyboard or choose Edit/Delete from the Menu bar.

4. Items deleted from the Sent Items folder will go into the Delete items folder and will not save any space until they are permanently deleted from the Deleted items folder.
