Deleted items folder in o2k3

The big boss refuses to empty or archive his deleted items, now holding some
25,000 messages and approaching 3 gigs in size for the deleted items folder
alone.

Does Outlook treat messages in the deleted items folder any differently than
messages in other folders? Would it be better for him to never delete
messages since he doesn't really want to delete them?

It would be better to not delete them since Deleted Items... is for things
you want to get rid of.

Does he use his wastebasket as a file cabinet as well? Does he keep his
groceries in the disposal?

messages in the deleted folder are the same as messages in any other folder.
if he wants to keep the messages he needs to stop deleting them.
