I like to set up retention for all the items in the mailbox except three folder(s) folders within due to legal requirements.Following are the requirements.Need to delete all items except in folder x, y and z.Folder x, y and z are not crated by exchange 2007.ThxspSammy

Hi Samir,I would suggest, create custom managed folderfrom Exchange server side for long term retention period instead of allowing end-users to create them manually. You can handle those in better way & apply this MRM settings to the users who need this settings and/or in similar department or team.References:MRM Overview...mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/exchange/2007/Messaging_Records_110k.wmvExchange 2007 Messaging Records Management (Part 1)http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/compliance-policies-archiving/exchange-2007-messaging-records-management-part1.htmlAmit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
