Hi all,

I successfully set up Managed Folder Mailbox Policies to limit the retention
period of mail in user's folders (Exchange 2007). It works. But how to do to
make the users receive a notification with the result of the policy effect
on his mailbox? In Exchange 2000 it was generated and it was a very
effective way to make users take care of his mailbox size...

Thanks in advance
Sammy

Exchange 2007 does not have a mechanism to automatically notify users of
items purged from the mailbox.
The difference between Exchange 2003/2000's Mailbox Manager and Exchange
2007's MRM is that the latter is more compliance focused.
- Managed Folders can have a comment that's displayed in Outlook. This is
used to inform users about retention settings for a managed folder.
- Details about MF Mailbox Assistant's actions is logged in MRM logs.

I don't believe that there is an option to notify users that the policy has
taken action. Outlook 2007 does show the Managed Folder's policy settings
under the folder name in the message list.
