We are running Exchange 5.5. I have a mailbox setup to forward to a folder. There is a rule setup on the mailbox to delete the mail after forwarding. However, the deleted items obviously gets filled up and I need to go into purge it periodically. Isthere a way to have this auto purge or a scheduled task to purge deleted items so that this happens automatically?

Set the mailbox to Deliver the mail to an Alternate Recipient. That way the messages won't accumulate.

Hi
If you click the "Help button" in outlook you will see the answer below in a sub heading called

"Delete old items automatically"

1 Right-click the folder that contains the items you want to delete automatically, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
2 Click the AutoArchive tab.
3 To enable automatic archiving of this folder, select the Clean out items older than check box.
4 To specify when items should be deleted, enter a number in the months box.
5 To have items automatically deleted, click Permanently delete old items.

Hope this helps

Gary Day
