All sent emails should be auto-deleted.Does any of the following email clients allow you to turn off automatic sent email archiving? YahooHotmailInRocket mailSquirrelmail

I don't believe there is anyway to do this in Gmail. When an email is sent it appears in the Sent Mail folder (or rather is assigned the sent label) and there does not appear to be anyway to change this behaviour. Filters only act on incoming email.However, you can do this in some other email clients, by essentially not saving the sent email:SquirrelMailYou can set it to simply not use the Sent folder. Under Options > Folder Preferences > Special Folder Options > Set Sent Folder to [Do not use Sent]:roundcubeIn roundcube you can set this at the time you compose the email, by selecting - don't save - from the Save sent message in dropdown:To make this the default option you can set this in Settings > Preferences > Special Folders and set the Sent folder to ---:Mozilla Thunderbird (desktop email client)In Thunderbird you can simply uncheck the Place a copy in checkbox, with regards to sending messages (in the appropriate account settings), and the sent email does not appear to be saved anywhere. The default behaviour is to save the sent email in the Sent folder on the email account.In Account Settings > Copies & Folders > When sending messages, automatically: > Uncheck Place a copy in.
