Thing is ive just found out you can add a deleted items column to the ESM, displyaing the size of the deleted items retention for each mailbox and it must be that and not the total size of the deleted items cos for some mailboxes the figure is bigger than the mailbox size.<br />
<br />
This displays it in KB and runs into the millions just on one store, which to be fair is the biggest...so im thinking that other figure is probably in KB as i think from that screenshot alone your talking 20 GB.<br />
<br />
What you think<br />

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
