How can I configure the Deleted Items Folder.
Click Tools
    Click Options
        Click on the Other Tab (See below)

 

Click the Advanced Options button.  The Advanced Options Dialog box will appear.
Here, you can set your preferences for deleting items.  Do you want to receive a warning before permanently deleting?  Do you want to empty the Deleted Items folder automatically when you close Outlook?

Tailor your system.....your WAY!
