I've just started using a new PC running Outlook 2010 and I'm trying to set my preferred options. In Outlook 2007 on my previous PC, I had changed the settings so that the Deleted Items folder was not automatically emptied when I exit the application.

However, I can't find that option in Outlook 2010. Can someone please tell me where it is?

Click on the "File" tab, and select "Options".

Switch to the "Advanced" pane, and clear the "Empty Deleted Items folders when exiting Outlook" option:

Thanks! I went through the "Mail" options carefully, but I guess it's not just mail that ends up in the Deleted Items folder, so the Advanced options might make more sense. – Highly Irregular Mar 29 '12 at 23:47
