Nope, you are not looking at it the wrong way, you are absolutely correct unless you setup MBM to catch those additional folders. In the Folder Age Limits on MBM the "Other Folders" will cover EVERYTHING including but not limited to user created folders under their Inbox. It will also include any additional USER created contacts folders, tasks lists, calendar folders etc, the default contacts, calendar folders will have the limits applied that you set in MBM.
Enjoy, it's a wonderful tool. Of course be sure to have a good backup of your Exchange server before you run mailbox manager the first time and warn your users that it's going to happen or you'll be spending a lot of time restoring because they didn't know their stuff would be deleted.....and you'll still probably have to restore stuff even after giving notice....:-) (Been there, done that)

Subject: Mailbox manager
Good morning all,
Outlook 98. Exchange 5.5 SP4.
We are in the process of setting up Exchange's Mailbox Manger to help our organization clean up our disk space. from a high overview the first thing I saw was that this mailbox manager cleans only certain directories. What I am worried about is the user that figures out that they can save messages in a subdirectory below the Inbox and those messages won't be purged. Am I looking at this the wrong way? Is there a setting that tells me to clean up Inbox and all directories below Inbox?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Mike Mitchell
