Add an option for how long to keep junk mail
It would be nice to have an option in Settings that would allow users to choose how long Junk Mail items stay in the JM folder before they get deleted.

Can we get some personalized options for retaining mail ?
i keep my hotmail account very clean of junk so i want all the stuff that goes to deleted.
i would like the option of when to clear folders much like your Outlook client. I only use the web client because it is great.
i am using 1.1 Gb of my 50 Gb allotment. Just leave the email there for me or give me some options.
thx

Please add an option to empty the junk mail folder at a desired interval, daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Is there a way for you to track bulk mailings and provide an option to block them that would be great. Maybe anytime an email arrives from someone I don't know, an authorization request should be generated to allow email from that sender. There could be an authorization folder that just shows the following columns, display name for the user, email address for the user, spam likelihood percentage, and if expanded a history of any email subject lines sent. It seems like there should be a way to put an end to junk mail. Maybe an ip address based location would be helpful so we know if the email was generated from overseas.

I would like to set auto-delete for junk mail at say 5 days. Once I have more than 200 junk emails it becomes too many to search through to check if any legitimate emails are there. 30 days is too too too long.

Allow people to customize when/if the junk folder gets deleted every X amount of days. Some people want it to be shorter than 30 days, others want it to be longer or to never automatically delete.
Personally, a good portion of my legitimate emails get sent to the junk folder and I have missed many important emails because they get autodeleted. Having this small feature in the settings would allow people to personalize their junk folder to their needs. -

Change junk auto delete 30 days by making it so that you can turn it on and off as you please because most of my emails (including important ones) end up in junk mail and It's scary to think that they may be lost after 30 days.

Please consider adding a new feature to manually select the auto deletion of junk mail every 3, 5 10, and 30 days. Your customers are getting inundated with unsolicited mail because our address is being sold to companies we care nothing about. It is time that you care about your clients.

Cannot find retention policies to stop email from automatically being deleted from Junk Email folder. Very important as many valid email are sent to this folder and it is not checked regularly.

The advertised 30 days before junk mail is deleted is NOT ACCURATE and mail is automatically deleted sooner than that. Please fix this!

Great idea. For a while I wasn't receiving excessive JM. All of a sudden I am receiving 20-30 a day.

I would like to be able to set a time period for deleted emails to be kept. I am particularly concerned about email arriving in my junk folder. I normally delete these daily to make it easier to see if one is legitimate, so they are kept in my deleted folder for ever.

Allow the option to not have "Items in Junk Email will be deleted after 30 days".

It really is a big problem for me, that the junk-mail folder is getting emptied automatically every 30 days. It had happened to me once that a message of a colleague's colleague (whom I hadn't the opportunity to mark 'save' until then) landed in the spam and was deleted, before I could read it – what led to quite an embarrassing situation, through which only I could find out about the issue. Since then I have a very uneasy feeling, because every time I haven't got the opportunity to check my mails frequently enough (when I am on travels for example) I fear that something important could be deleted before I can read and save it. This seems to me to be quite a fundamental problem and I cannot imagine me being the only person having it. I don't know all the future messages of future people contacting me (as I am a normal human being) and therefore cannot arrange the spam-filters good enough. I would very much appreciate to decide myself, when my spam-mails are to be deleted – as it is the case with other providers I can think of. I very much hope you can help me, as apart from that big problem I am quite pleased with the outlook-mail-services. Thank you very much!

Please include a "user option" to delete items in the "junk email" folder after a user selectable number of days.
