Overview

To save some space on your data store disk, you can set a special rule which deletes all messages older than a specified number of days. You can configure the items clean-out for individual users or per domain. If both items are configured, settings per user are applied.

Kerio Connect performs the clean-out periodically based on the size of your message store. You can apply the automatic clean-out to the following folders:

• Trash
• Spam
• Sent
• All folders (except contacts and notes)

NOTE: If you do not want to lose any messages with the clean-out, archive or backup your data store.

Step-By-Step Guide

1. In the administration interface, go to Configuration > Domains.
2. Double-click a domain.
