Database Maintenance (Sent items, Inbox, Deleted items deletion)

[sixteamparlay]

In 2003, weekly database maintenance controlled how long sent items/inbox/deleted items will be kept and everything else could be deleted, or just logged (with the log sent to the administrator)

Could you point me in the direction of this feature in Exchange 2010?

Thank you!

exchange 2010 retention policies will allow you to dictate what's kept and for how long.

The retention policy does not work for Deleted items. I set it to delete after 21 days back in november but I have items in the deleted items box from all of last year.

Exchange 2010 SP1

Does anyone know how to turn on higher logging for retention policies so I can do some detective work on why they are being skipped although they are way over 21 days old?

Thank you

I did assign the tag to a policy and the policy to all users.
