I am new to Outlook for Mac 2011 and wanted to know how to best emulate the way a message gets closed after replying to or reading it.

In Windows, I have a setting that closes the original message after it has been replied to or forwarded. Worst case, I can press Esc to close it after reading it. 

Is there a way to do the same on Outlook for Mac 2011 (latest OS updates, latest Office updates applied)
