Microsoft Outlook: How to Delete Emails in the "Sent Items" Folder
Last Updated 5 years ago
Every time you send an email message, a copy of that message is saved in YOUR “Sent Items” folder as well as in the recipient’s inbox. This creates two copies of the message. If you send a message to multiple people, then multiple copies are created. When you send a message to lcc.campus, more than 500 copies of that message are stored on the server. This is especially taxing on our resources when an attachment is included.
