Mailbox clean-up agent (Enterprise Edition only)

The Mailbox Clean-up agent performs server-wide clean-up actions on the system and mailboxes. This agent is a purge utility that can be run to automatically delete mail that is older than a set number of days. It is possible to purge the Postmaster, All Post Office Inboxes, All Post Office Deleted Items, All Post Office Inboxes, and All Post Office Sent Items. The utility can be configured to purge emails from the Bad Mail and Quarantine folders on the server.

This purging interval is also relevant for the domain mailbox agents under: MailEnable Management > Right Click on the Post Office >Properties>Agents Tab

The clean-up options for a post office are configured in the post office properties.

Polling interval for purging
Number of minutes between when the service will purge emails. In order to perform a purge, the service needs to examine each folder, and possibly emails for each user, which can be both time and resource intensive. It is recommended to time this so that it occurs only at off-peak times every few days, depending on the number of users configured on the server.

Properties (Folder clean up)
This can be set not to delete any unread messages and delete messages in folder over a specified number of days old.
