I want to automatically delete all messages in a public folder after they are 'n' days old. THis is easy to do in a mailbox folder running outlook, but I can find a way to do it for a public folder.

The rules on a public folder don't seem to provide a way to specify the number of days, etc.

Thanx!

I don't think this is possible to do without using a third party program or create an on timer event sink on the exchange server.

When I read your post i read archive all items in public folder, not delete [Wink]

You can set a delete item after x days in the system manager on the exchange server. You have to be admin on the Exchange server to do this.

The only setting you can set on a public folder is how long want to keep deleted items. My advice is to use a on timer event sink to delete old items. You might be able to create a macro to do the job too.

How about third party products? Anyone know of a product that would do this?

My problem is time, I simply don't have any time to write my own solution...

Thanx!

In Exchange2003 you can set age limits on either the proprties of public store or poperties of individual folders on the limits tab under "AGE LIMITS" can also be set via system policy in ESM
