EdTechChristina Uncategorized , , ,

Good morning!

I had a request to talk about deleting emails and “emptying the trash can”  (or deleting all the deleted emails).  It is important to delete your “Deleted Items” folder frequently because viruses or other malware could be lurking (and when any email folder gets too large, it can start causing wonky things to happen in Outlook).

With Outlook open,

Go to File  –>Options –>Advanced

Then check this box, and click “OK”
