The property is indeed a MAPI property. I have this Technet blog posting on the subject to hand. http://blogs.technet.com/b/surama/archive/2011/10/19/search-and-replace-retention-tag-on-microsoft-exchange-2010-mrm.aspx It covers this in some depth. You will probably need MFCMAPI to adjust things.

I haven't checked, but my understanding is that they are a hidden MAPI property. Simon or Steve may have a better answer tomorrow. -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 8:53 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Retention policy folder information retained? We had an issue awhile back working with retention policies where a user had a folder in his personal archive called "2010 Archive". No matter what the user set the retention policy to, it would always revert back to the default policy. The only recourse was to rename the folder to "Archive 2010". Being curious, the user has been playing around and has found that if he renames the folder back to "2010 Archive", it will once again assume the default retention. Is this because by renaming the folder then it loses the association with the assigned retention policy and reverts to the default, or is it referring back to some association that is retained somewhere that refers specifically to "2010 Archive"? I'm not sure where or how these retention policies are stored. -Paul --- To manage subscriptions click here: or send an email to with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: or send an email to with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: or send an email to with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: or send an email to with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: or send an email to with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
