New Outlook Delete Email on Close

Copper Contributor

Previously when I closed the original Outlook all emails in the Deleted Items would be deleted.

This is not working in New Outlook.

Though they have changed the words to the Settings to "delete on sign out" - how cares on sign-out.

I have hundreds of emails a day in the deleted items.  

How do I get the deleted emails to "delete" on close again?  

Tried all of the hype I found in a search, no joy!

New Outlook is Outlook on the web in an app framework so it uses the same descriptions as Outlook on the web. And Outlook on the web only deletes when you sign out - which you really can't do in the app.

Go to View Settings>Email>Message handling>Message options
and select When signing out 'Empty my deleted items folder'
Thanks - this works "if" I sign out every time, which is not always the case, though a good option!
