OL98: (CW) Running Clean Mailbox Agent Can Result in Lost MailID: Q181324
|
When you use the Mailbox Cleanup Agent to delete messages from a server-
based folder containing Microsoft Outlook messages moved from another
folder, you might lose messages that were supposedly archived.
The Microsoft Exchange Server administrator uses this utility; for more
information see the "Exchange Mailbox Cleanup Agent" section below.
When you move or change an Outlook message, you update the "Modified" date
attribute that is used by the archive program. Moved messages do not appear
to the archive program as old as they were before the move, and may not be
archived as soon as expected.
The Mailbox Cleanup Agent uses the "Created" date attribute, in this case a
date older than the Modified date, to determine the message age, and may
delete messages that are not yet archived.
Before running the Mailbox Cleanup Agent on a folder that contains messages moved from another folder, check the Modified date of the messages to see if they have been archived.
