Rule: Delete Messages in Folder X after 21 Days?

[Robert T]

Outlook 2003

We purchased the Symantec Enterprise Vault application which automatically
archives all email messages older than 45 days to a server. The goal of
archiving is to preserve job related email just in case it might be needed in
court.

Note: This is NOT Outlook archiving, the Symantec Enterprise Vault removes
messages from the Outlook Mailbox and stores them a special server or servers.

However, many email messages should never be archived. With that in mind,
someone asked me the following question:

Can we set up a rule that does the following:

1.Move all email from Company X, Company B, Company C, My Girlfriend, My
Ex-Wife to let's say FolderX.
2.After the message is moved to FolderX, DELETE it after 21 days so it will
not be archived after 45 days.
3. I guess another option would be to delete all messages in Folder X every
21 days. That would ensure no message in FolderX would ever be archived.

Thanks,
Robert

What you are describing sounds like it could be the "Managed Folders" (part
of Messaging Records Management) feature of Exchange 2007.
