XADM: Clean Mailbox Command Cannot Delete Based on Date Received |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
SUMMARY
If you use the Clean Mailbox command on the Tools menu in the Microsoft
Exchange Server Administrator program to delete messages that are older
than a certain number of days, the age of the messages is calculated based
on the date the message was last modified. You cannot cause the age of the
messages to be calculated based on the date the message was originally
received.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft recognizes the need for people to use the Clean Mailbox command
to delete messages based on the date the messages were received. We have
modified the Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0 Administrator program so
that when you delete messages that are older than a certain number of days,
the age of the messages can be calculated based on either of the following
criteria:
- The date the message was last modified.
- The date the message was received.
After this feature is enabled, select Last Modified Date in the Clean
Mailbox dialog box to delete messages based on the date the messages were
last modified. To delete messages based on the date the messages were
received, select Received Date in the Clean Mailbox dialog box. To view the
Clean Mailbox dialog box, follow these steps:
- Start the Exchange Server Administrator program. To do so, click Start,
point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click
Microsoft Exchange Administrator.
- In the left pane, click the Recipients container under the appropriate
site. In the right pane, click a mailbox, and then on the Tools menu,
click Clean Mailbox.
This supported feature is now available, but has not been fully regression
tested and should be applied only to systems having a specific need for it.
Unless you are severely impacted by the lack of this feature, Microsoft
recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this
feature. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
We have also modified the Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5
Administrator program to support this feature. This feature is included in
the latest Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 U.S. service pack. For
information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in
