We are configuring MFP for 2007 and have a few questions 1- We are not using the default managed folders Policies, We are creating a rule for say INBOX/Sent/Trash/ETC each with different retention times. based on "E-Mail" for the conetent setting. I did this because I am worried if I did "All Mailbox Content" It will remove Contacts/Calendar stuff we don't want to loose. Am I correct on this? 2- I want to create a Managed Custom folder where people can put up to 1GB of data they wish to keep past 365 Days. I have the folder created and the size limit set but how do I exclude that from the inbox rule I created? FYI, My 2 rules in place are folder type Inbox/Sent Items. Message type is "Email" not all mailbox.Thanks, Grady Vogt

Hi Grady Vogt, For 1, you could do that, some information about MRM in exchange 2007: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310756(EXCHG.80).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123507(EXCHG.80).aspx For 2, per my know, there is no inbox rule could move the item based on the emial size, it all depends on the account operation.

not looking to move by email size. I want all emails 365 days and older to be deleted from exchange.. However, I want to provide a folder that is NOT effected by the policy but limits the user to 1GB of storage. This way they put important email in the folder that wont be deleted.. I wanted to know if my managed folder can be excluded from my set policies? if I DONT put a MRM on the managed folder will this protect it? even if I put one on the inbox?Thanks, Grady Vogt

Hi Grady, Thank you for you further explanation, got it. If you do not put a MRM on the folder, the folder would not apply any policy. If you put a MRM on inbox folder, the root and subfolder all apply the policy, but you could set it base on folder to except the subfolder.

Gavin, Thank you for clarity. Yes, your links are good.. I just need to verify that the Custom Managed Folders that I create are NOT effected by rules on the inbox. If I wanted retention policies on them I have to create an EXTRA MRM JUST for that managed folder.. Is this correct?Thanks, Grady Vogt
