If the policy is as you stated: "no email past a certain date or find another job"
Then just report the offenders to Human Resources so that they can get started. Which was Ed's suggestion... It sounds like management has already issued a directive, and simply need to be notified that there are offenders which need either Warnings or Enforcement.

I did not make the policy I just have to enforce it. Thank You, Robert Williams Senior Network Administrator Raypak, Inc.

However, the side effects are undesirable. I'm happy you think I'm funny but my suggestion is serious. Let me put it this way. If your users are going through all this trouble to avoid having their mail cleaned up, then doesn't that perhaps suggest that your policy is wrong-headed? Policies that cause users to behave dysfunctionally just to get their jobs done don't make a whole lot of sense.

Let me re describe my problem if a person creates a "mail" folder under their "Contacts" folder how am I supposed to configure mailbox manager to clean it out? I have exempted IPM.contact to avoid deleting their contacts and I have other folders checked in the aging box.....so why does it bypass the folder?

Tell management to issue a directive and punish the offenders. That ought to fix it.

I am excluding ipm.contact from my scans to avoid contacts from being deleted and I have other folders checked as folders to scan so what am I doing wrong?
