Maintenance processes on the Exchange server could also delete expired items. Best to ask about that in an Exchange group like microsoft.public.exchange.admin.

Are you sure these messages are being deleted and not just hidden in a filtered view?

Hi Sue,
the problem is that OL deletes the mail (without running AutoArchive)
inmediatelly after it was received. Where is it feature configured?
Is it possible to be an Exchange filter / feature?

Thanks

LucasC

The default setting in Outlook is to automatically delete expired messages
when the AutoArchive feature runs.

Hi,
We are working with a communication solution based on Exchange and we have
to test this solution with a wide variety of mail messages.
One of the options of a mail is the Expired date option (Options-Expires
After). We found that when sending expired mails (mails with an expires
after date in the past) they are, most of the time, deleted by the
recipients automatically.
Our doubt is about Outlook or Exchange feature that does it.
Is this a feature? Is it configurable? Why sometimes those mails are not
deleted?

Any ide will be welcome .

Thanks in advance

LucasC
