Exchange Mailbox Manager policies set age and size limits for messages. After you create and configure a recipient policy for Mailbox Manager settings, you must schedule when the Mailbox Manager process runs on a server and whether the process generates a report. When a policy runs, the policy processes messages that exceed its defined limits. For more information about Mailbox Manager and recipient policies, see "Managing Recipients and Recipient Policies in Exchange Server 2003."

Important:
Mailbox Manager works only on local mailboxes on an individual Exchange server. You cannot configure Mailbox Manager on one server to process mailboxes on a different server.

To schedule when the Mailbox Manager process runs and whether the process generates a report, you use the Mailbox Management tab in the server's Properties dialog box.
