In Outlook 2003 is there a way to Auto Empty the Deleted Items Folder,
either on Exit OR after X days since deletion or when X number of
Items accumulated?

Go to "Tools" : "Options" : "Other"
First option is "Empty Deleted Items folder upon exiting"

You can set it to delete after x number of days for certain e-mail account
types.

Go to: "Tools" : "E-Mail Accounts" :
Select, "View or change e-mail accounts"
Select account to chnage and click "Change..." :
Click "More Settings"
Select the "Advanced" tab.
Settings are at the bottom under Delivery

I use AutoArchive to keep about 3 days' worth of deleted items around in case I change my mind and need something I deleted.
