Are you most interested in deleting the folder itself, or the contents of the folder? If it's the contents, you should be able to use a managed folder mailbox policy.
For deleting the folder, you simply have to bind to the folder and then call the delete method. There is code for doing that in the SDK. The most difficult issue is creating an appropriate service account - EWS is an absolute stickler for getting impersonation exactly right. Regards, Michael B.

We used Sunbelt VIPRE (back to the days of iHateSpam) and we've since moved on to Forefront. If I ask users to delete the folder I expect very few will actually do it. I have a feeling deleting a folder in all mailboxes directly with Powershell isn't possible, I'm guessing I need to invoke EWS through Powershell (which I have no idea how to do). I've seen EWS code online for C# and I admit I'm not strong enough in programming to put it all together. If anyone has any tips or already invented this wheel and is willing to share I appreciate it. ------------------------------------------------- Thank you, Peter Kretche University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
