Yes, you can use mailbox manager policies for this - however I've heard that



it may cause users problems when they want to use 'recover deleted items'. I



usually just assign mailbox quotas and make the users manage their own



mailboxes - they'll eventually have to do something! I also tell them that



if they want to store stuff in the trash, that they shouldn't get surprised



or complain if someone sensibly *empties* their trash.



In ESM, where you see the individual mailboxes...you can add Deleted Items



to the columns - but that shows you how much is stored because of DIRT, and



not the size of their individual folder.

Is there a way to globally setup exchange to automatically purge the deleted



items in each person's account either when the exit outlook or on a time



basis.  I have outlook setup to prompt users if they want to delete their



items but many people cancel this or turn it off.



Also,



Is there a way to see from the exchange server just how much space each



person's deleted items is taking?



Thanks,



Jasper
