Is there a management tool out there that can simply delete all E-Mail only in a 2007 Exchange user's mailbox based on age? It would work similarly to an archiving utility I suppose, but instead of archiving I want the messages purged. It appears extremely complicated to achieve this with policies because I already a employ default policy for everyone that maintains the Junk Mail and Deleted Items folders. I also want this "Purge" to happen on demand rather than on the schedule that accomodates the policies. Thanks
Interactive = manual? Policy-based management of such routine tasks is generally a better option, unless there are some specific concerns. It's not very complicated once you understand how it works. Look for previous response(s) in microsoft.public.exchange.admin on this topic, specifically one from yesterday titled "Recipient Policies in Exchange 2007".
