Hello: We have a Public Folder for our developers which is e-mail enabled for errors. We get over three thousand e-mails in the folder a day. Twice now the folder was not cleared and ended up with over 1,000,000 messages in it! Outlook clients locked up when they tried to view the folder. Finally I had to delete it and re-create it. Does anyone know if you can create a rule or something which will automatically delete e-mails over 4 days old so this problem will not happen again? I thought I could do it with the folder assistant, but I don't think it will work. Thanks. Harrison Midkiff

Thanks. > Harrison Midkiff I believe the folder assistant is the only way to go - or change this to a mailbox instead of a PF, and set up a mailbox management recipient policy (filtered to apply to this mailbox only) that automatically purges out mail older thanX days.
