This was written using the version listed above but may work for other versions.

If you do not want Outlook to ask you if you are sure you want the email deleted when you exit Outlook, follow these steps

  1. Open Outlook

  2. Click Tools

   
  1. Click Options

   
  1. Click Other

   
  1. Put a check in Empty the Deleted Items folder upon exiting

   
  1. Click Advanced Options...

   
  1. Put a check on Warn before permanently deleting items

   
  1. Click OK

   

 

Warning! When these options are set, you will not be asked if you are sure you want to delete an email. It will go straight to your Deleted Items folder and when you close Outlook, the file will be gone.
