Exchange 2007 Managed Content Settings Exclude sub folders

I have created a manged folder and have set it up to move all items in the
Inbox into it after 180 days and it works great. I have noticed that if you
have a folder created under your inbox it moves everything in that folder to
and created a copy of the folder under the managed folders and places the
e-mails in there. Makes sense, but what if I only want to move items that
are in the Inbox if they are in folders under the inbox I want to leave them
alone can I do this? Also would be nice if you could rename managed folders
to some other name.

I believe the generally accepted answer to this is to not create subfolders
underneath Inbox, make them under a new folder.

Recycling response from couple of days ago:

In Exchange 2003/2000, the Mailbox Manager does not apply policies to
sub-folders unless you explicitly specify this. This allows users to easily
sidestep the organization's retention policies by simply moving items to a
sub-folder.

In Exchange 2007, Managed Folders are more compliance-focused. Managed
Content settings are applied to a Managed Folder (custom or default folder)
and all its sub-folders.

The workaround is to move messages to a Managed Folder which has different
Managed Content Settings or an "unmanaged" folder.
