I am after some clarification of my understanding. Firstly we are talking Exchange 5.5 SP4. What I want to achieve is to delete items in a public folder once they have become too old. I assume I can select the public folder in question and change the value of "Age limit for replicas (days)" to the period I want to hold on to the message in the PF. The age limit of the message is determined by the MAPI property "Last Modified Time". What I want to check is what happens next, the age limit for the message expires so the message is marked for deletion, am I right in thinking that it is then tombstoned, so the deletion of the object can be replicated. The tombstone period by default will hold the message for 180 days before it is finally removed from the database. Where does deleted item retention start on this process is it when it was first deleted or at the end of the tombstone period?
Is my thinking correct or am I way off the mark?
