Hi Sammy,See the following demovideo, if anything is unclear, please post here.http://msexchangeteam.com/videos/9/general/entry442782.aspxThanks,Elvis

Thank you for the link, however this is for custom folder.I need something for default folder. is there any differnt steps to it.SamirSammy

I believe the option you are looking for is at the database level. If you are using Exchange 2007, go to Server Configuration, Select your server at the top, Right-Click the Database at the bottom and go to its properties. If you select the limits tab you can change the number of days in the deletion settings section.

My Goal is to set rentention period for Deleted Iteams in the mailbox and sent items as well. and I need some detailed steps to perform this task efficiently.Thank you,Sammy

Hi Sammy, The steps are very similar. The video tells you how to create a custom folder and then implement the maintenance on it. You dont need to create the new folder, in managed Default folders tab, right click the deleted items and choose new managed content settings Then follow the steps in the video. Thanks, Elvis
