Deleting items from a non-default Outlook folder
Hello,
All of our users have a folder in their mailbox that we want to remove all items past a certain date. We only want the "purge" to occur on this single folder, not all of the non-default folders.
Is this possible and if so, how?
Thanks.

Hi Simon,
Yes, I suppose that would be important - sorry about that.
We are running Exchange 2010 SP2.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Simon,
We tried that in our test environment and it didn't work. The managed folder feature creates a new folder underneath a "Managed Folders" folder.
From the technet article:
"Managed custom folders Managed
custom folders are managed folder objects you can use to create custom folders in a user's mailbox. The folders are created under a top-level folder called Managed Folders."
We need to be able to control the retention of the user created folder that is at the root of their mailbox (same level as Inbox, Deleted Items, Sent, etc.)
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Rob
