Re: How to purge a mailbox programatically

Nope, you are correct from everything I have heard from MSFT on the topic.

There are no code samples that I have ever seen for Exchange 2000 I think you would need to use some low level Exmapi code to delete the mailbox in the store but im not really sure. My guess is that this WMI class is calling a routine in a private serverside library the hard part is finding documentation for all the steps that library performs when it does a purge. Maybe somebody else has an idea ?

Thanks Glen!! that is helpful. How about Exchange 2000?
My app needs to work on both 2000 and 2003.

Thanks,
Chris

If you using Exchange 2003 you can do this using WMI and the Exchange_mailbox class's purge method see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_wmiref_me_Exchange_MailboxPurge.asp

Hi,

From Exchange System Manager, I can right click on a deleted mailbox and purge it.
How can I do that programatically? I cannot find anything in MAPI or CDO.

Thanks,
Chris
