Default Message Expires

In outlook 2007, there is an option to set Message Expiration. The default
is 180 Days. Is this to say that after 180 the message will no longer be
accessible to the recipient? Will it be deleted? Will this work the same for
Outlook or Exchange rcpts as well as other email / internet rcpts?

Regards.

Expired messages are removed only if you use Autoarchive to do so.
Otherwise, its header line will change font in the folder's contents list,
acquiring an overstrike, but you can adjust that, if you want.

In my experience it's been a bit more complex than that. First, answering
the last question, no, internet recipients won't (to my knowledge) see
anything when it comes to an expired message. As for a user on your
Exchange server.

If the message has never been read and is in the Exchange Server and in the
Inbox (ie, not a pst), it should be deleted.
If the message is marked as read, or is in a PST, it should change to the
grey font and overstrike.

There are two-ish situations I'm not sure about. If the message is read and
then marked as unread, I'm not sure if the message will actually autodelete,
or just crossout. Also, I'm not entirely sure what happens if the message
is in a different folder in the Exchange store. It should be deleted, but I
never actually ended up testing it.
