if number of users are limited , grant yourself full access rights to their mailboxes and have configured their profile in local OL followed by making a rule to automate workflow as per your requirements .

Please try this. This will search John's mailbox for email from thomas@contoso.com received between 1-1-2010 and 31-12-2014 and delete it.

Get-Mailbox -identity John | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery "From:thomas@contoso.com","Received:> $('1/01/2010') and Received:< $('12/31/2014')" -TargetMailbox test -TargetFolder test -DeleteContent -loglevel full

Thanks for Reply. I will try and let you know

Hi,

I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2010, I recommend you refer to the following cmdlet to delete the messages from some specified users between specified period.

Get-Mailbox -identity xxx | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'From:amy01@contoso.com AND Received:> 01/01/2010 AND Received:< 13/10/2014' -TargetMailbox amy01 -TargetFolder "test" -DeleteContent -loglevel full

Note: The above date formats should be consistent with the data formats in your server.

Hope this can be helpful to you.

Best regards,

Hi Siraj,

If you want to specify multiple from addresses you can try below.

Get-Mailbox -identity john | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery "From:thomas@nsportq8.com -or From:mas@nsportq8.com","Received:> $('1/01/2010') and Received:< $('12/31/2014')" -TargetMailbox test -TargetFolder test -DeleteContent -loglevel full

This will search John's mailbox for emails from thomas@contoso.com and mas@contoso.com which is received between 1-1-2010 and 31-12-2014 and delete it. And you can see the deleted items details in test folder in test mailbox 

Troy,

Similarly if i want to delete email in organization wide using the time stamp, how can i do it? based on key word and time stamp.

Depends really, are you looking for a keyword in the body, subject line, attachments?
