SETTING PREFERENCES

To change how you empty the trash folder in non-Mail applications
The frequency with which the IBM® Lotus® Notes® Trash folder in Mail is emptied is set in preferences in the Mail application. Applications other than Mail may also have a Trash folder; for those that do, this preference specifies how to empty trash.

Note If you don't see the Soft Delete expire time mail preference, your organization may have modified the design of your mail application, and you may need to use this preference to manage your Trash folder. Ask your administrator for assistance.

1. Click File > Preferences > User Preferences.


2. From the menu under Empty trash on application close (if not emptied at a timed interval), click one of these options:
ClickTo make Lotus Notes
