We have a few generic mailboxes that are used by our developers that receive several test e-mails. &nbsp;These mailboxes receive thousands of e-mails a day. &nbsp;They would like the mailboxes setup to automatically delete e-mails out of the inbox (read or unread e-mails)from these mailboxes after 1 day. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The generic mailboxes are never logged onto. &nbsp;The users have full rights to the mailboxes in question and they map them to their existing accounts to monitor them. &nbsp;I attempted auto archiving but it appears that you need to have the account logged onto in order for the auto archive to take affect. &nbsp;<br />

We are on Exchange 2010.<br />

Thank you very much.
