Archive Outlook Without logging in to mailbox

[J.]

We have a general maibox we want to archive the 'sent items' to delete if
older than 3 weeks - is there anyway this can be done without loggin into
the mailbox ??

You can set a retention time on the folder when you are in an Exchange
environment.

The archive functionality only works when Outlook is open.

Exchange 2000? Open the user/mailbox from Users and Computers and choose the
tab Exchange General. At the bottom you can set the retention time for
deleted items (sorry, I thought there was a possibility to set a retention
on the entire mailbox but I couldn't find it at the moment).

Just wondering; how do the messages end up in the Sent Items folder? Are you
using some sort of automated application? Normally when you send as a
general mailbox the sent item ends up in your own Sent Items folder.
