This is not strictly a Word question but seems to apply to your email
client. In Outlook Express, Sent Items are saved indefinitely. There is an
option (Tools | Options | Maintenance) to delete downloaded news messages
after a certain number of days, but no such option for removing mail
messages.

Can I reset the timeframe for archiving "Sent Items"? It seems to save
them only for the current month and the previous month, and sometimes to
find older ones than that.
