Hi,I have a requirement where i want that a specific email box should delete all the sent items in 3 days or everyday. Is it possible using exchange 2007. Actually this mailbox is only used for sending mails. And I have to manually delete the sent items from this mailbox so that it not get filled up.Thanks.

Yes, you can create a MRM Managed Folder Policy to auto-delete sent items after certain days...

Hi,Amit thanks for your help. Actually I want it to enable it on a specific users and not all of the users. The link you mentioned above, seems to get applied to all the users. Am i correct or wrong.Thanks.

No, you can assign the policy, which you created for deleting mails from sent items, to single user also with Set-Mailbox cmdlet... Set-Mailbox UserName -ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy "SentItemDeletionPolicyName"Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Yes Correct! As Amit said that it can be applied to a single Mailbox as well. Creating a new managed default folder will clear your confusion. To precise please follow the instructions below to create a Managed Folder, managed content setting, Mailbox policy and link it to the mailbox. Create a managed folder named "Sent Items - 3 Day Retention" under Manged default folder tab in EMC or execute the below command... New-ManagedFolder -Name "Sent Items - 3 Day Retention" -DefaultFolderType "Sent Items" Create a managed content settings for this newly created folder under Managed Default Folder Tab in EMC or execute the below command in EMS... New-MangedContentSettings -Name "SentItemsContentSettings" -Foldername "Sent Items - 3 Day Retention" -MessageClass "All Mailbox Content" -AgelimitforRetention 3 -RetentionAction PermanentlyDelete -RetentionEnabled:$true Create a Managed Folder Mailbox Policy from EMC and link it to recently Create Managed Folder or execute the below command from EMC... New-ManagedFOldermailboxpolicy -Name "Sent Item mailbox Policy" -ManagedFolderLinks "Sent Items - 3 Day Retention" Apply this policy to desired user by below command... Set-Mailbox -id "User name" -ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy "Sent Item Mailbox Policy" Start the managed folder assistant executing below command... Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Mailbox "user Name" Let us know how it goes. Thanks. Vishal Ramnani | MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE Messaging | MCTS - Win 2008 Config

Hi,Thanks AMIT and Vishal for your support. I am able to do so and right now its working fine.Vishal there is one more step needed. Actually you have to create schedule also to run the policy on mailbox. By default its set to never run....Thanks.
