Right-click on Deleted Items, go to Properties, click the AutoArchive tab. &nbsp;Set it to &quot;Archive this folder using these settings&quot;: 1 week. &nbsp;Select &quot;permanently delete old items&quot;.<br />
<br />
However, I have no idea how to push it via group policy.

Right-click on Deleted Items, go to Properties, click the AutoArchive tab.  Set it to "Archive this folder using these settings": 1 week.  Select "permanently delete old items".

However, I have no idea how to push it via group policy.

Any other options out there?

We are running office 2003 sp2 with all applicable service packs and patches. This should be fairly simple. Is there a way in outlook to set an option on the deleted items folder so that any mail older than seven days is automatically deleted? <br />
<br />
I am not talking about the 7 day recovery period for deleted items I want to know is there a way to set it so that people cant use their Deleted Items folder as a storage container. I saw the option to have outlook automatically empty deleted items up exiting but that does all emails. Is there a way to set a limit on this.<br />
<br />
Also is this something that can be managed through group policy.
