An expiration date is a date when the message content is no longer valid. After a message expires, an InfoBox appears in both the Reading Pane and the Message window with the date and time that the message expired. Expired messages you received appear in your Inbox folder with a strikeout through the sender’s name. Expired messages you sent appear in your Sent Items folder with a strikeout through the recipient’s name.

You have the option to set an expiration date for each individual message or you can set an expiration date interval that applies to all messages you send.

Set a default expiration date

NOTE The strikeout through an expired message may not appear until you select another folder and then redisplay the folder containing the expired message.
