Mailbox Limits

[moram]

I hope somone can help. My boss wants to limit the length of time items can remain in a users Inbox. I've suggested having the users delete "unnecessary" items, but he wants automatic, permanent deletion after 45 days. If it ain't broken, play with it till it breaks.

I know you can limit box size, and the think the oldest stuff would be automatically deleted.

Thanks kjohnnnnn, but his opinion is that anything older than 45 days is not worth keeping. If it ain't broken, play with it till it breaks.

Hi moram,
You can use the Auto-Archive facility of Outlook. This allows you to move/delte all the items that are older than the specified time-which can be easilty configured.
You can find this at the following location :

Tools>>Options>>Other>>AutoArchieve.

Hope this helps.
Thanks, -Ashish☻☻

You can also use mailbox manager as a time based retension tool. This was introduced in exchange 5.5 SP 3. We are going to be using it where I work. I spent several days taking a look at it and it appears to work fine.
