Outlook is a widely used email client that offers various features to its users. One of the features that Outlook provides is the ability to save copies of all sent items. While this feature can be useful, it can also take up a lot of space in your mailbox. IBy default, the copies of all sent items are saved into the Sent Items folder automatically. However, sometimes you may don’t want to keep the copies of sent items in your Microsoft Outlook at all. If you do not want to save copies of all sent items in Outlook, you can follow the steps below.


To disable the feature of saving copies of all sent items in Outlook, follow the steps below:

  • Open Outlook and click on the "File" tab.
  • Click on "Options" and then select "Mail" from the left-hand menu.
  • Scroll down to the "Save messages" section and uncheck the box next to "Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder."
  • Click on "OK" to save the changes.


Once you have completed these steps, Outlook will no longer save copies of all sent items in your mailbox.
