How do I tell Exchange 2003 / Outlook 2003 to sync only one week worth of emails??

Hi,

For secuirty reasons, we can only allow users to sync one week wroth of offline messages to user's laptop.  I tried outlook's sync filter but it seems like it will download all messages to .ost and than filter it out based on what's in the .ost file.  Is there any ways to tell Exchange and Outlook to only download last 7 days emails to .ost for offline uses?  If user connects to the network, then it will grab all emails from Exchange server.

500 points.

Thank you.

Humm...  What happens if the user has many folders in his inbox?  Move mails to System Cleanup folder will not keep the folder structure, right?

Hope there is a way to choose "NOT to sync if it is not within 7 days"

You are correct.

"Hope there is a way to choose "NOT to sync if it is not within 7 days""
That will not be an option.
