I want to enforce all my users to empty their deleted and sent items folders. I believe that by doing this I will reduce the size of my database by almost 40%. I will be giving them a week or two to do it before I do it my self from the Exchange server. Running Exchange 5.5 on Win2k Server. What is the proper way to do this from the server.
