Question : Archiving using Exmerge

Trying to delete emails from mailboxes using the archiving function in Exmerge on Exchange 2003.  It saves to a .pst file, but does not delete the emails from the Inbox.

Answer : Archiving using Exmerge

When running in batch mode, to remove messages with certain subject lines and containing certain attachments, perform the following steps:

1)      Create a text file containing the message subject lines to look for. Each subject line should be entered on a separate line. If you wish to specify a blank subject line, enter ~<BLANK SUBJECT LINE>
2)      Save this file as  C:\SUBJECTS.TXT
3)      Enter the name of the file created in Step 1, in FileContainingListOfMessageSubjects entry of the .INI file.
4)      Create a text file containing the attachment names. Each attachment name entered on a separate line.
5)      Save this file as  C:\ATTACHMENTS.TXT
6)      Enter the name of the file created in Step 4, in FileContainingListOfAttachmentNames entry of the .INI file.
7)      Set the following INI file entries
i)      DataImportMethod = 3
ii)      CopyUserData = 1
iii)      CopyAssociatedFolderData = 0
iv)      CopyFolderPermissions = 0
v)      CopyDeletedItemsFromDumpster= 0
vi)      SubjectStringMatchCriteria = 0
vii)      AttachmentNameStringMatchCriteria = 1
8)      Specify the name of your Exchange Server using the SourceServerName INI file setting.
9)      Specify the .INI file on the command line, using the -F option, when running ExMerge.exe. The command line used will be similar to:

EXMERGE -B -F C:\EXMERGE.INI
