How to create a custom delete folder in Outlook 2016?

1

With Outlook 2007 I could go into account settings and choose my own folder where deleted items can go - the reason was to keeps the deleted emails forever, because Google (GMAIL) purges it every month. How do I do this in Outlook 2016 as the option in advanced settings is gone! I Googled and can't find a answer.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, this functionality was removed in Outlook 2013/2016. You can't change this folder anymore.

Do you have a reference for this? It would make this a much better answer ... – DavidPostill – 2016-11-16T12:14:05.543

You can see it for yourself in IMAP account settings. – thims – 2016-11-16T14:24:24.253

Thanks, but how can I save my deleted emails now as GMAIL permanently deletes it after a month! – Erin Walker – 2016-11-17T05:41:25.387

Backup them periodically to a local PST. – thims – 2016-11-17T13:17:30.097
