Hi,

Using Exchange 2000, mailbox profile:

If I right click a folder (deleted items) and set it to delete items older
than 4 months and permanently delete them instead of moving them to a PST,
it will not work when an autoarchive runs or you run file archive archive
all folders according to their settings. It goes through them all, but
doesn't purge any items.

If I set the folders settings to move them to a PST, it also does not work.

The only way it works if I do it manually, file, archive, archive this
folder, set the date and let it do that folder. There is no permanent
delete option here so I had to move them into a PST. This works.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alan
