again thanks for the time and effort. I had just asked a question in regards to a user not showin up in the vault list. easily answered by Tony Sterling.. however that led to another question which I am having trouble resolving working with Exchange and retention policies. We want to flush out Deleted Items after x amount of days. I had thought that our policy in EV stated that all mail after 30days will be archived, to which I had thought includes the Deleted Items folder. However when I was doing an advance search on a users mailbox I noticed that 'Deleted Items' does not show up as a subfolder of the Exchange mailbox.
So to me it looks like it is possible to have an email NOT be archived if it has been deleted from the Inbox or Sent Items.
And looking at our Exchange Mailbox policy under the Advanced tab ... Archive deleted items is turned off. Luckily the journal mailbox will capture any sent/received emails.
