I sent a mail message from Exchange to Exchange with a read receipt
3 weeks ago. Today I received a message "Not read because it expired
before reading".
Does this mean the message has now been removed from the individuals
Inbox or that the read receipt feature has an expiration date?
Where is the expiration feature set (user or server)?
I could see a problem if the message is deleted from a users INBOX
if they had gone on vacation for 3 weeks. Wow, no messages while I
was out!
What's the story with this feature, anyone know?

Unless 5.0 has something new the only way to clean a mailbox was using
the janitor program from the Exchange resource kit.
I experimented with this for a customer and found that it deleted
unread mail! There was not way to stop it. Microsoft said they would
look into this in a future release.
So, it looks like Digital is running the janitor and deleting un-read
mail.

Message expiration is a user settable option (send options). As far as I know there are no production servers runing any kind of auto purge function. | |||||

Outlook has an archive function, that the user sets up, and will
archive messages to user selected folder etc. So check out
Outlook for your exchange client.
