Is it possible to use GPO (or GPO and combination of something else) to set autoarchive settings on a specific folder in Outlook?

Basically, what I would like to do is this:

1. Set autoarchive for Outlook to run once a day.  Leave settings unchecked so it doesn't do anything.
2. Then set autoarchive settings on the deleted items folder to permanently delete items older than 14 days

So in essence I would like to have a policy that automatically permanently deletes items in the deleted items folder that are older than 14 days. 

Is this possible?  Thanks

Hi,

We can't use GPO to set AutoArchive settings on a specific folder in Outlook. We can only change the default AutoArchive settings in Outlook via GPO. See:

If you're in an Exchange server environment, we can consider using Retention Policy to achieve the goal. See:

If you need further assistance regarding Retention Policy, you can post a question in the Exchange forum:
