Mailbox Manager in Exchange 2000 uses mailbox recipient policies to enforce defined policies on all mailboxes that are members of the policy. Using the policy's LDAP query interface, you configure Mailbox Manager to search all users' mailbox folders or select only a particular server or one Exchange Mailbox Store. Figure 1 shows the first screen that appears when you create a new mailbox recipient policy.

To create a new mailbox recipient policy, open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Exchange System Manager snap-in. Right-click the Recipient Policies object, right-click the object, and select New, Recipient Policy, as Figure 2 shows. In the New Policy dialog box, select the Mailbox Manager Settings check box.

Setting Policies
As you can in the Exchange Server 5.5 version, you can still set the Mailbox Manager policy option to move items to Deleted Items or System Cleanup Folders. However, the Exchange 2000 version also lets you either generate a report only or delete the items immediately, as Figure 3 shows. Depending on which process you select, Mailbox Manager performs certain actions on messages. Table 1 shows the actions and their functions. . . .
