    Groombro,

    Modified Date would be the same as the Received Date for mail messages. You can confirm this from the Help button under the Storage Expiry settings:

    Base Expiry on:

    • Modified date. Items in archives expire at the end of the Retention Period.When you select Modified date, the start of the Retention Period is calculated as follows:

      For mail messages, this is the time since the message was received.

      For documents, it is the time since the document was last modified.
    • Archived date. Items in archives expire at the end of the Retention Period. When you select Archived date, the start of the Retention Period is the date the items were archived. This setting is useful if you import old items from other mail systems. If the items are very old and deleted items expire on sent/received date, the items could expire immediately.

    In addition, you will get space back in the storage once you enabled Storage Expiry; however, keep in mind that if you are sharing within the Vault Store or the Vault Store Group, any emails or attachments shared between several archives will not be deleted until the last reference to that item is removed from the storage.

    I hope this helps.
