Hi Acmsoft, Delete expired items (e-mail folders only) means that you can choose to have e-mail messages deleted when their aging period has expired. The default period for your Draft and Inbox items is six months, and three months for your Sent Items, but you can change these periods using the Clean out items older than option. If any other e-mail in Inbox, Draft and Sent Items exceed the specific time, it will be deleted. Archive or Deleted Old Items: If you want AutoArchive to delete some or all items when they expire, you must choose this option. This option activates other options that enable you to decide which items are archives and which are deleted when they reach the end of the aging period. Permanently delete items: This option immediately deletes the expired items instead of moving them to the default location, anther folder that you have designated, or the Deleted Items folder. Hope helpful. Here is a reference for you: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/use-autoarchive-to-back-up-or-delete-items-HA010105706.aspx Best regards, Yang
