I have some resource accounts that have lots of mail in them and I want to remove all the mail. Can I delete just the mail and keep the mailbox and all of its settings? Thanks, Scott<-
sure...use exmerge, in "archive" mode...it will yank everything out of the mailboxes, and send it to a pst file which you can do with as you please... -- Susan Conkey [MVP] "Scott Townsend" <scott-i@.-N0-SPAMplease.enm.com> wrote in message news:e9ZVIYRdGHA.4576@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > I have some resource accounts that have lots of mail in them and I want to > remove all the mail.

Perfect Thanks I also tried to use it to Archive some old Employees. Though it seemed to fail on those accounts. If the AD Account is Disabled, I take it the Mailbox it off limits too? Thanks again!

yes, but if you grant the "SELF" account the "external associated account" permission, then you can run exmerge against the mailbox, I believe... -- Susan Conkey [MVP] "Scott Townsend" <scott-i@.-N0-SPAMplease.enm.com> wrote in message news:#4XjKcSdGHA.3632@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Perfect Thanks > > I also tried to use it to Archive some old Employees.

So it yanked it out, though it did a Copy, not a Move. Did I do something wrong? I want to empty the mailbox from the server, though want to keep the mailbox intact. Turns out a autoaccept script is running on a resource account and is getting a non-deliverable and then trying to process all the non-deliverables. So far its up to 1.5 million items in its mailbox "Susan" wrote in message news:O4OqycRdGHA.4900@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > sure...use exmerge, in "archive" mode...it will yank everything out of the > mailboxes, and send it to a pst file which you can do with as you > please... > > -- > Susan Conkey [MVP] > > > > "Scott Townsend" <scott-i@.-N0-SPAMplease.enm.com> wrote in message > news:e9ZVIYRdGHA.4576@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> I have some resource accounts that have lots of mail in them and I want >> to >> remove all the mail.

then you didn't select "archive to target" on the Options | Import Procedure tab... -- Susan Conkey [MVP] "Scott Townsend" <scott-i@.-N0-SPAMplease.enm.com> wrote in message news:e9jaz5SeGHA.3888@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > So it yanked it out, though it did a Copy, not a Move.
