Learn to Use your Computer

You can save outgoing mail in Outlook 2002 so that you can go back and look up the messages you've sent. Outlook starts saving sent items when you install the program, but you can turn this feature on and off.

To save copies of your messages:

1. Choose Tools, Options.

The Options dialog box appears.

2. Click the E-mail Options button.

The E-mail Options dialog box appears.

3. Click the Save Copies of Messages in Sent Items Folder check box.

If the box already contains a check mark, leave it alone. (That's the way Outlook is set up when you first install it.) If you click the box when it's already checked, you turn off your option for saving messages. Don't worry if you make a mistake; you can always change it back. Just make sure a check appears in the box if you want to save messages.

4. Click OK.

Outlook saves two months' worth of saved messages and sends older messages to an archive file to save disk space on your computer.
