There may be instances where you want your email inacessible after a certain date and/or time. This may be due to security measures or information that is only valid for a specific amount of time. To do this:

1. After you have composed the email, click the Options button on the toolbar.

2. Check the Expires after checkbox.

4. In the adjacent dropdowns, select the date and time that you wish the email to expire.

5. Click OK.

Note: This works only if the recipient is also using Outlook.
