Until someone more knowledgeable answers, I would search the KB and exchange.org for how to copy all messages.

Please help http://www.MSExchange.org/ (sorry if you are getting this for a second time, the message bounced back stating that the subject resembled a command) Hello all, Running Exchange 5.5 I am in a bind and have been tasked with the following from the CEO of my company.... My CEO just called me into his office and DIRECTED me to verify that I am backing up all e-mails (including deleted ones) so that they can be recovered any time during the next month. (Something is up...) My problem is this - when people empty their deleted items, they are recoverable for a period of only 7 days. How can I extend this time... Also, how do I recover an e-mail that has been deleted or emptied from the deleted items folder? Please help.
