Message Retention
Description
IntraMail will save a Subscriber Mailbox's new, held, or saved messages for the Message Retention interval
and then delete them. You'll find Message Retention to be an invaluable tool for managing IntraMail's voice
message storage space. If subscribers are letting old, unwanted messages build up in their mailboxes, shorten
the Message Retention time. Be sure to let the subscribers know how long IntraMail will retain their mes-
sages. By default, IntraMail retains all messages indefinitely.
IntraMail performs its Message Retention deletions at midnight of the day the message was marked for dele-
tion. For example, if the mailbox has 1 day Message Retention, any messages left on Wednesday are deleted
at midnight on Thursday.

Message Retention Guard Time

IntraMail has a Message Retention Guard Time that automatically starts when you change the date and time
in the telephone system. Message deletion can occur only after the Message Retention Guard Time expires.
This prevents Message Retention from inadvertently deleting messages when you change the telephone sys-
tem time and date. The guard time is fixed at 4 days.
