They might be considered to be shortcuts to EV, but they are just normal messages to Exchange. They should be deleted by the Mailbox Manager policy. The only way to access those messages after the shortcuts are deleted is through the Vault's search option.
From: Matthew McComas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 2:23 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Question about Exch2k03 and EV6/SP3 We run Enterprise Vault 6, SP3. We have a few mailboxes that have a policy set to archive all mail older than 6 months. The policy is working fine, as any message 6 months or older has been replaced with a stub or short-cut to the archived message. Question: If you set up a mailbox manager recipient policy to delete all mail 6 months or older for one of these 6 month or older archived mailboxes will the policy delete the Enterprise Vault short-cuts, or simply ignore them since technically they are not messages but rather short-cuts to the actual message which now resides in the EV database?
