Purging email automatically
Set up Exchange 2003 to purge emails after 90 days. Although i get message saying it has purged emails not all users email are being purged. Some have one older than 90 days.
Here is the message we receive each night regarding purge
The Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Manager has completed processing mailboxes

How have you setup the automated purge?
ASKER
Yes, I sent the message we receive nightly with update of what was purgedin earlier thread.
That tells me what was purged, not how you set it up.
What steps did you follow to setup the automated purging?
Did you follow a link from a website? If you did - which website?

Sorry misread your message here is print screen of Policy.
You seem to have missed adding the screen-print, which isn't hard to do on EE :)

Thanks.
Okay - that looks fine.
Was the mailbox on the current computer sucked down from the server within the last 90 days, because that will also reset the 90-day count?

No
Okay - can you screen dump the rest of the tabs for the Mailbox Policy please.
Everything looks to be set correctly. I would suggest you monitor it for a few weeks to see if more items are automatically deleted.
