Hello suzbara, here at EE, the Experts always use the comment button and allow the User to choose his/her own comment as the answer.  Also when you use the Proposed Answer button, it locks the question, and no other experts can see it, therefore the User not getting fair input.

shlomi,

suzbara is correct about archiving being the only option here.  It is not exactly the method you were requesting but it is the result you want.

Dopey question...but why would you want to save your deleted stuff to an archived PST file?

Seems to me you'd be better off putting stuff you were going to delete into a folder marked "Archive" or something like that, organizing it however you like, and auto-archive using the method mentioned above.  This way, you can still delete email that's useless to you completely by putting it in the Deleted Items folder and dumping it, yet keep stuff you might want later.  It also avoids someone else accidentally emptying the Deleted Items folder thinking nothing important's there.

You may be able to write a macro or VBScript to do this for you.  Here are a couple of links that may be helpful  in providing you at least an overview of what is involved:
