    Empty Deleted Items folder on Logoff - OWA 2007

    Hi Guys
     
    I have an issue in that I have users who solely use OWA to access their mail. They have not ticked their "Empty Deleted Items Folder on Exit" check box in OWA and so, even though they click on "delete" on their messages, the messages stay for ever in their deleted items folder and so they end up with over sized mailboxes.

    Does anyone know of any way that I can prgramatically check that check box in OWA for all users ? I've looked all through PowerShell and AD and can't see anything. I know the Outlook one is held in the users registry and can be set by GPO but this is for OWA and, if its not held in AD, must be held in the Exchange database itself.

    Many thanks

    Phil

    In the Exchange Management Console, under Organizational Configuration select Mailbox. Select Managed Default Folders and select Deleted Items. Right click and select New Managed Content Settings. Give it a name like PurgeDeletedItems-1Day and select the retention period to be 1 day
