Re: recipient policies

for what it's worth, I was playing around also and got *mixed* results also.
I was actually testing the deletion of messages based on date criteria. What
I found out was that there were 3 MAPI attributes being scrutinized:

PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_TIME
PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME
PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME

In my case, even though the messages in the folders showed dates way past my
criteria (30 days), the last_modification_time attribute was showing a date
that was only a few days old. This was on a lab machine, and I had used
EXMERGE to move some mailboxes to it. The last_mod date was the date I ran
EXMERGE.

You might take a look at these attributes to help explain what you're seeing.

I found a good viewer for MAPI attributes at:

For what it's worth...
