Is there any way to delete a folder and it's content in eVault for Exchange?

I have a folder that got Vaulted back in 2001.  It contains THOUSANDS of emails that I no longer need.  Might be as many as 30,000 email messages.  I need to delete them all without going through screens of 100 emails at a time in Archive Explorer.

We're running eVault 8 wih the 9.x HTTP plugin in Outlook 2010.

I do not have access to the server, so the solution has to be client side.

If you don't have access to the server your options are limited.  If you don't have shortcuts you will need to either use ArchiveExplorer or Search.asp.

Honestly, why not send the request to your help desk?  They can export the folder to PST and Delete the items in the folder in the process.  That would be the easiest way.

Sorry meant to say 2011, not 2001.

I would suggest archive explorer or virtual vault.

Archive Explorer only lets me see 10 screens of 100 message.  That would take forever to do.  Is there some way to get Archive Explorer to display more messages per screen than 100?

Delete the folder rather than the content?

Virtual Vault would work, but again, he would need work with his EV Admins.  As in my first post, I recommend you reach out to them.
