When the time specified for the Keep Policy is over, the messages remain in the Archive Manager database, as potential candidates for any other policies to act upon.
The Delete policy specifies the criteria for the messages to be deleted. A Delete policy is represented in red.
NOTE: When a single archived message is associated with multiple mailboxes (e.g., one message sent to six recipients), and a Delete policy applies to one or more but not all of the mailboxes, the message is simply unlinked from the mailboxes where it has been deleted, but is not deleted from the archive altogether. When a message is unlinked from a mailbox in this way, it is reported in the Retention Editor log file in this form:
