Open your registry and find or create the key below.



Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called
"MessageExpiryDays" and set it according to the value data below.



Example:-

User Key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail]
Value Name: MessageExpiryDays
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 3 = default)



Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the
change to take effect.



Note you can save the registry key first by:

On the File menu, click Export.

In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.

Or create a system restore point prior to editing.

Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going edit
new.
