Delete emails from a specific folder in Exchange 2010 SP1

Hi all,
 Since Exchange 2010 SP1 does not have “-DeleteContent” parameter in mailboxexportrequest any more, how do we delete emails from a specific folder of a user mailbox? (Personal folder, not default folders).
Please note that the ASQ for searchquery in Search-Mailbox does not support “folder”.
If going for retention policy, is there a way to tag a retention policy to a specific folder of a user mailbox without user attention?

Hi William,
Yes, you may not run the Search-Mailbox to delete items in specific folder at the moment. Hope it will be back soon.
You can create a Personal tag, users can apply personal tags to folders they create. But users have to select related Retention Policy using Outlook or OWA manually.
For more information, please see:

  • Problem syncing old emails from Outlook to Mail using Exchange 2010

    HI,
    I recently switched from Outlook 2011 to Lion Apple Mail.  I am set up for email through my comany's exchange server.  When I set up Mail, all of my folders showed up on my Mail account successfully but it will only sync back the last 60 days of emails.  I know these old emails do reside on the server.  Is there potentially a setting on mail to adjust how back it syncs?  If not, can someone suggest a work-around.  I would only have to do this once.
    Thanks

    When transferring a locally stored message that was recieved a year ago to a server stored mailbox with an IMAP account - doing this today for example, the recieved date for the message is changed to today's date - at least with an email client used to access the account.

  • How do I mass delete email from Trash folder?

    Is there an easy way to mass delete the emails from the trash folder?

    In your settings>mail>account>advanced, there is a way you can set it to self delete after 1 day. This is the earliest setting to self delete the mails. If you need to delete all of them right away. Just open one of the mails and press the trash can icon at bottom. It automatically opens the next mail and you can just sit there thumbing the trash can until all are gone. Works for me, both ways.

  • Anyone know how to delete emails from trash folder?

    I have hada Droid phone for about 6 months.  When I delete emails from my inbox it goes to a "trash" file (similiar to trash file in Outlook).  It is getting full.  Any idea how to delete from trash folder.  My wife also bought the same phone but she does not have a trash file.  No one at our verizon store can answer my question as to how to delete from trash folder and don't seem to know how I have a trash folder on my email account.

    I'd go on the P.C. side of your Mail and start clearing it will clean what's on the phone and the Computer i have done this Many time on my Gmail and Yahoo.. b33

  • Can't delete emails from inbox

I made them divert directly to my trash, yet I still cant delete them from the trash folder,
    Thanks

  • IPhone deleting emails from folders

    I've been having a problem with an iPhone 3GS deleting emails from folders.  This has only been happening for about 3 or 4 weeks but is a very critical issue.  I've lost several critical emails that are not recoverable!  It makes using the iPhone to view saved messages useless!  Maybe time for a droid?
    The issue may have started when I upgraded to version 5.0.1  When you select a folder your see the email you want and then it just disappears.  It is deleted and not able to find it anywhere.  I'm using AT&T email which is Yahoo.  I log on to Yahoo email and the email has also been completely deleted.  I have been using the 3GS with Yahoo mail for over two years without any issue.  Something in IOS has changed that has added the new unwanted feature.  Apple needs to get it resolved!  Does anyone know when a fix is coming? 

    I've yet to hear of that issue specifically previous to this post. You might test it with another account just so you're not puting your real account in danger. It definiatly won't hurt to update. I would also turn on the "ask before deleting" option in the settings to see if that helps any.
    Keep us updated.

  • TS3276 What if you're not receiving email from a specific sender?

    For some reason, I cannot receive email from a specific sender. I can send it to her, if she sends it back, I do not receive it.
    If she sent to four people, and I was one of them, I won't receive email but others will and if the others try to forward that email
    to me, I won't receive it but I will receive separate emals from them. Why is this?

    Have you checked you junk folder on the computer. Also, check spam folders at your email provider's website. Also check any settings that may exclude this sender.
    If the sender in your Address Book. Make sure they are so they will be excluded from junk filtering.
    Also, check any rules that could delete or junk message from this sender or content it may contain.

  • Permanently deleting emails from Gmail, while saving them in AppleMail

    I'm trying to figure out how to permanently delete emails from my Gmail All Mail folder without deleting them from the folders I moved them to in the On My Computer area of my AppleMail on my MacBook Pro.  I like the IMAP syncing function in Gmail that keeps my iphone, ipad and MacBook all synced from an email perspective.  However, I don't like my emails living on Gmail's servers any longer than they have to.  I don't want them living on Apple's servers either, so I'm not using iCloud. 
    I only want emails to remain on the Gmail servers for as long as I keep them in either my inbox or sent items.  I use those two folders as my holding zones for items that still require action.  Once I have done what needs to be done in regard to an email, I either delete it or I move it to a folder under On My Computer on my MacBook Pro for possible later reference.  If I move an email to a folder, I never want it to be deleted.  I use a Time Capsule to back up my Macbook through Time Machine, so I'm not worried about losing my historical email files from a hard drive problem.  I also back up the MacBook quarterly to a separate hard drive which I store offsite in case a catastrophe at my home destroys both my MacBook and the Time Capsule.
    I have about 8 years of email history that I imported from my old PC into the MacBook in AppleMail and I now want to clean out the All Mail account in my Gmail to delete all those emails, but I need them to remain in my folder system on the MacBook.
    Can anyone tell me how to delete all mail from the Gmail account without having the IMAP function delete them from my MacBook Pro?
    Here's an added complication.  When I move an email from my inbox to a folder on my MacBook, I do want that email to disappear from my ipad and my iphone. In essence, I like to manage all my emails from my MacBook Pro if they need to be saved into folders, but I also like to be able to delete emails that don't need to be saved from any of my devices and have that deletion sync to all my devices.
    I haven't been able to figure this one out.  Any help is appreciated.

    Make local folders (On My Mac) and move the mails there, they will delete from the GMail servers but remain accessible in Mail, only in Mail.
    All Mail (in Gmail) is not a folder, it is a label for all your mail, anything in there is also in one of GMails folders, when you delete from All Mail you are deleting the original mail.

  • How to delete email from iPhone ONLY and not from server?

    Hi. I have a Yahoo! POP mail account.. Can anyone advise me how to setup my iPhone so it ONLY deletes email from the iPhone and NOT the server. So, after I read an email on the iPhone and delete it, the email remains in the INBOX on the server? If not, I will send a feedback to Apple. BTW - I can dl and send email just fine. Thank you.

    ampullae,
    When you setup Yahoo on the iPhone it defaults to IMAP because Yahoo offers free IMAP Push for iPhone users, as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305882
    If you add your Yahoo account as "other" it will be setup as POP.
    With IMAP messages are stored on the server, and messages created in one email client, such as the iPhone, show up in the sent mailbox on both. In addition messages moved to a different folder on the iPhone, will be in a different folder when you access your Yahoo mail via a web browser or another IMAP client. Likewise message you delete, will also be synchronized and deleted.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Unable to delete email from trash bin.  How do I do this?  If I select and chose delete, it doesn't.  What am I doing wrong?  My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

    Unable to delete email from trash bin.  How do I do this?  If I select and chose delete, it doesn't.  What am I doing wrong?  My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

    There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
    Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted.

  • Rescuing deleted emails from Outlook Express 5 for mac

    Dear Forum
    Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I would be grateful if anyone could cast some light on the following puzzle. I am trying to retrieve deleted emails from Microsoft Outlook Express 5 Macintosh edition (vers 5.02 2022) running on a G4. Using Data Recovery 2, I have uncovered two databases that hold the information, but I am unable to open them in Outlook or other programs. Is it something to do with 'End of file' as a friend suggested? I have tried importing them as my default database to no avail. When they were opened as raw text, there are definitely email addresses and parts of emails embedded in there, but nothing I can use. I desperately need to access these mails so that I can take an ex-client, who still owes me money, to court.
    Any assistance would be most appreciated.
    Thanking you for your help.
    Kind regards

    Hi, chilliman2 -
    There is one other option. You can use BBEdit Lite to open the message and database files. This utility will display all the text in most any file, including many damaged ones that otherwise can not be opened. BBEdit Lite is free -
    BBEdit Lite
    Although the SFGet window, opened via the Open command in the File menu, will not display the OE files as openable files, they can be opened by dropping them onto the icon for BBEdit Lite (just confirmed that to make sure).
    The bad news - you would need to search through the file to find the section for any specific email message, then copy that portion to another file for printing. This can take a lot of work if the file is large.
    The good news - even the usually non-visible header info for each message is included in the Messages file, and is shown in BBEdit Lite.
    Whether this result will be suitable for your purposes is a different issue.

  • How to Filter Email or Direct Email to a Specific Folder

    Hi
    I've just bought a Blackberry Z10 but I cannot find how to filter my email. I was able to do this on my older Blackberry Edge.
    What I'm trying to do is filter emails by subject, sender, or other parameters. Alternatively, I would like to be able to direct email from specific senders into a seperate folder. As I said, I could do this on my BB Edge but I've searched the web to no avail.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks George

    Hi George,
    Thanks for your question on email filtering.
    What type of email account are you using - ActiveSync, Gmail, Hotmail POP/IMAP etc?
    What type of email are you trying to filter - junk email or emails from a specific contact? 
    Thanks!

  • Aperture, why when I delete from an album it deletes it from the project folder

    Aperture, why when I delete from an album it deletes it from the project folder also.
    I thought that it was the other way round, in that the library was not the main entry.
    I have 10 project folders and 6 albums and I want to remove the albums and keep the projects "as is"
    I am unsure as to how I wound up with albums in the Aperture program.
    thanks

    Never used the Trash icon either (and generally don't show the Toolbar).  But at least the Tooltip is correct:
    Now that I think on it, clicking "Trash" _should_ put the item in the Aperture Trash.  The confusion comes from the use of "Delete" -- specifically using a key with that label to execute a command that changes based on not only what kind of item is selected, but where the item is located.  So in this case (let me parenthetically add I have yet to take part in my morning caffeine ritual) "Delete" in the Tooltip does not equal "press and release the 'delete' key", but rather is used as a verb (rightly, imho).
    Not sure what a better design might be, but perhaps at least popping up a window saying, "The selected items are Images in an Album.  Would you like to remove them from the Album, or move them to the Aperture Trash (which will delete them from the Project they are in)?".
    Greg -- I suggest using the context-sensitive menu (a/k/a "right-click") to select the command you want:
