1.Programmatic way to clean up 'crusty messages'?

Hi there,

I use a backup program called Retrospect to backup a SBS 2003 server and 
every night when we run our backup the same 30 messages in our Exchange 2003 
server cannot be backed up. They're almost all in the deleted items folders 
of our users.

Is there a programmatic way to delete these 'crusty' messages which for some 
reason Retrospect cannot access? or is there some way to make it so that 
they can be accessed? I believe that because some messages are not being 
backed up the store is not being marked as 'fully backed up' and as such the 
transaction logs aren't rotating taking up quite a bit of the ole disk 
space.

Thanks,
-Drew

2.How to clean the message queue

I have over 26,000 megaes in the queue. Most likely spam or NDR,s, not sure. 
They have <> at the far left. Not sure where they are coming from but would 
like to delete all of them and not have to delete them 1-1000 at a time. Is 
there a command that does this. I am running exchange 2007 sp1.

4.Clean unread messages

Does anyone know of a way to clean out UNREAD messages older than, say 60 
days, from all mailboxes on an Exchange 2000 server?  Mailbox Manager seems 
to have lost this feature from 5.5.  Are there third party tools to do this?  
Does Exchange 2003 bring this feature back?

5.Clean Mailbox - Delete only UNREAD messages >60 days

Valerie:

If the mailbox manager will work for you, you can always set an attribute on
the users that is unique to the users you want to mailbox manager policy to
apply to.  Then, you can create a new recipient policy (mailbox manager
only), and use a filter that uses that attribute.  Then, when the policy is
run, it will only run on those mailboxes that meet that criteria.

Hope that helps.
