Auto delete function on email

Email Client: Exchange

I want to be able to set up Entourage to delete email off of my exchange server after 20 days but to keep it on my desktop computer that I download my email to. I have found the directions to do this for a POP server but not for an exchange account. Can you do this on an exchange account? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks,
Ann

There is a free script that will do this, but it's broken for Leopard. You
can use a third party product ($15) that does work in Leopard.

Try this rule in Entourage and see if this works for you.

All Messages - Date Received - is - 20 days old
then
Move messages - inbox (on my computer)

thanks,

Thank you for this information. Where is Entourage moving the inbox messages to? Can I tell it a specific folder?
Thanks.

Ok, I created a new Rule as you said. It doesn't seem to be doing anything. Should it have happened right after I saved the rule or do I have to active it??
Thanks.

I think you need a Schedule, not a Rule.
