SYMPTOMS
When you configure age limits for items that are in the public folders in your Exchange 2000 organization to delete items that are older than a certain age, you may find that items that are posted to the configured folder do not consistently expire after the number of days that you specify.

As a result, if your public folders regularly receive many items, you may have to manually remove items and run an offline defragmentation to reduce the size of the public information store.
