I'm looking for a way to do the following in Exchange 2000: When mailbox size exceeds maxvalue, delete all e-mails older than 90 days. I don't care if it's a 3rd party util, or if it has to be scripted or what, just point me in the right direction. Or a website where the users actually have to use this piece of dogshit. Or get me a job using Linux. Any deity worthy of a graven image can cobble up a working universe complete with fake fossils in under a week - hey, if you're not omnipotent, there's no real point in being a god. But to start with a big ball of elementary particles and end up with the duckbill platypus without constant twiddling requires a degree of subtlety and the ability to Think Things Through: exactly the qualities I'm looking for when I'm shopping for a Supreme Being.

Yours may differ, but shudder. I find sending them an email every day it's too big gets results. :) Obviously this only works if you're not really running out of resources just yet. Second, be aware that E2K may be set to retain emails for X days even after deletion, so you may not reclaim the space immediately anyway. hth Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance - Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

HQ) can pick folders (sent, inbox, deleted.....) and age of messages A Play I Some Music w/ Papa Andy Saturday 8 PM - 11 PM ET All Night Rewind 11 PM - 5 PM Reggae, African and Caribbean Music [link\|http://wxxe.org\|Tune In]

What is in use at my current job is a max mailbox size. They hit the wall, no more send/receive till they free up space. If it is space concerns that are triggering this request, you may want to consider some healthy, yet finite size limitation. We give them 35 Meg. Special cases get upped to a 100 Meg on manager's request. ...rare is the dollar of corporate profits that bears a tax burden heavier than the burden on an employee's wages.
