In your Recipients folder, you can select the mailboxes that you need to delete the messages from. First select the mailbox, then select Clean mailbox from the tool menu. You can select calendar items, e-mail, journal, notes, tasks or contacts. Also you can specify unread only or by specific dates. You also have the option of sending the items to the deleted folder of the mailbox or deleting the items immediately.

Hope this helps.

First I would suggest to the user to archive off any data that they wish to save and not lose, they can put the resulting pst file on network resource for backup if they wish. Due to the all or nothing of viewing archive pst files I suggest that they organize a series of archives say by the month or something. Give them sufficient time to complete this request ie a week or so and let them know that any thing older than xx days will be removed from their mailbox. Then run the mailbox cleanup agent This a a tool from the exchange resource kit, you should be able to download the kit or agent from the ms downloads, I think if you download the Resource kit you get a v1.6 cleanup try the downloads library as I think there is a newer version there. You can back up the mailboxes by having them export the folder to a pst file, I would do this because there is the possibly that mbclean.exe will also delete calendar and task events that fall in the parametes selected for msg deletion i.e older than 90 days
