Domain Folder Auto-Clean
Domain Folder Auto-Clean is a method for limiting how much of your account disk
space is used by the Junk E-Mail, Sent Items, and Deleted Items folders. By placing
limits on the size of these folders, you can help ensure that your domain accounts
do not fill up unnecessarily. Oldest messages will be deleted from the folders
first. If you override the auto-clean settings, the settings you choose will trickle
down to your users.
Note: Depending on the policies your administrator has established, you may or may
not be able to change the settings on this page.
Note: If auto-clean is active on a folder, messages will get deleted from it eventually,
so do not keep messages in that folder if you want to keep them.
Options
Use default auto-clean settings - Choosing this option will let you adopt
the policy of your system administrator. If the administrator changes the policy,
yours will automatically change with it. You can see the current policy on the Folders
tab when this option is active.
Override auto-clean settings for this account - Choose this option to override
the settings. Any changes you make will not be affected if the administrator changes
the policy, unless they disable overrides.
Folder Settings
If you are using the default auto-clean settings set up by your administrator, you
will be shown them on this tab.
In the case that you have chosen to override the settings, the following options
appear once for each folder that can be auto-cleaned.
Enable auto-clean for this folder - If this box is checked, then auto-clean
will be active for the specified folder.
Folder size BEFORE auto-clean - Once the folder reaches this size (in megabytes),
the auto-clean process is started, and older messages are cleaned.
Folder size AFTER auto-clean - This is the goal size for the auto-clean process.
It will try to delete older messages until the folder gets to this size. This number
should always be lower than the "before" number.
