Deleting Email

Our email servers are filing up. You can help.

This is where you can help. Simply delete your “deleted items”. [That’s right, when you “delete” something, it doesn’t really “delete” it. This is analogous to throwing something away in your kitchen trash bin- eventually you have to take the kitchen trash bin out to the garbage can. ]

Please follow these simple steps:

• On Outlook 2003 –
  • Open Outlook
  • Right Click on the “Deleted Items” folder
  • Select “Empty Deleted_Items Folder”
  • Click “Yes”
• On Outlook 2010 –
  • Open Outlook
  • Right Click on the “Deleted Items” folder
  • Select “Empty Folder”
  • Click “Yes”
• From the Web Site-
  • Open the web site (https://email.dearborn.k12.mi.us/ )
  • Sign into your account
  • Right Click on “Deleted Items”
  • Select “Empty Deleted Items”

Please note that this should be done weekly. However, right now is a crucial time.

{This would also be a terrific time to clean out your inbox, delete those items that you don’t need, and then delete your deleted items again.}

Thanks.
