EmailXtender retention question
If I wanted to set retention based on years how could I accomplish this using EmailXtender. Do I need to create a folder for each year - 6 years old, 5 years old, 4 years old, etc? Then apply a different retention period? If so how do I create a rule if all messages are archived ? I have emails that are 4 years old that need to be archived but not deleted for 3 more years and I have emails that are 5 years old that need to be archived but not deleted for 2 more years.

Yes but what happens if you want all emails to follow the same retention periods. All groups like accounting and HR to have the same retention periods. I don¿t see any rules that would allow me to separate the emails by year. Do I need to have separate server & container drive for each year or manually create move rules from DX once each folder is created. I am hoping there are more options to archive all emails with different retention periods based on year.- You can manually create move rules using DiskXtender or you can let EX create the move rules automatically. To configure EX to create the rules, right click the computer in EX Administrator and select the media type used in DX. As volumes are created new rules are created. If you use Centera the retention period is also set automatically.

If you have different retention periods for groups of users (i.e., 7 years for accounting, 5 for HR) create 2 folders and set collection rules on each folder using a distribution list. Hope this helps.
