Windows 10: How to delete messages saved in the sent mail folder on Outlook after a period of time

Outlook mail saves sent messages in the sent folder. I'd like to have those messages deleted after a period of time, like 90 days. Is there a way to make this happen automatically?


Other sites suggest right clicking the sent folder in Outlook, and selecting "properties", then use AutoArchive tab. Right clicking on the sent folder at my outlook.live.com does not show properties.


I am using Windows 10 v1809 OS 17763.379.

Mail for Win10 will not save sent and deleted messages

I'm afraid you're going to have to be a bit more precise and comprehensive in your problem description. Please clarify:

1. You posted in the forum for the program Windows Live Mail, yet there is no mention of this program in your post. Where does Windows Live Mail come in to it?
   
   
2. You say you have MS office +outlook. Does this mean that the Office suite you have installed includes Office Outlook, e.g. Outlook 2016? Or does it mean that you have a mail account @outlook.com?
   
   
3. You say that mail will not save sent and deleted messages.
   
   
   
   Deleting a message implies that you don't want to save it, so it's not at all clear what you mean here.
   
   
   
   Sent messages will normally be saved in the account's sent items folder. Messages sent from Mail would be saved there, and messages sent from the PlusNet webmail site would be saved there.
4. POP3 and IMAP are quite different ways of accessing a mailbox on a mail server. POP3 simply downloads new messages in the account's inbox; it has no concept of folders. IMAP attempts to ensure that the folders on the server and their contents are mirrored
   in the IMAP client.

I'm sure we can find a solution to your problem, just as soon as we know what that problem is.

Change from IMAP to POP3, if supported by the email server, and make sure that "Leave a copy of messages on the server" is checked.

Otherwise, I wonder if changing where delete items goes, and unsubscribing the folder will work?









Example is with Gmail and it's All Mail folder, but if not, can create a folder for the the same purpose.
