My company has acquired a 3rd party email archive solution that places
"stubs" or pointers to email content in the users Outlook profile directory
structure.
Now that all data is archived, the company wants to manage the size of the
mailboxes in the enterprise by limiting the amount of "stubs" in certain
folders, namely the INBOX, to on 60 days worth of stubs.
The problem is that I can't use the ARCHIVE function to delete stubs because
the company has implemented the "DisablePST" reg hack which removed the
ARCHIVE function. Also, creating a new VIEW is not an option because 1) it
would be resettable by the user & 2) the goal is to recover space used by the
"stubs" to the Exchange server; a VIEW would not accomplish that.
My research, to date, leads me to believe that the Outlook Object Model is
not robust enough to distinguish between the INBOX & subordinate sub-folders.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? If this is deniable, can you please tell
me how to accomplish? Something besides running a VB script on everyone in
my enterprise (5000+) in order to obtain the names of their INBOX sub-folders.
Let me know - please & thanks!
