Sorry, I'm a newbie to powershell, I have found some code and pieced it together to get this far...but this code for outlook 2010 has errors and I don't know how to clear the conversation history
My organisaton have a computer on a generic windows account which is running outlook, the account has been restricted in exchange to only send internal email, however I want to delete all read email in the inbox (leaving unread untouched), delete drafts, delete outbox, delete sent items and delete conversation history, then empty the recycle bin...
Equally, there may be a better way to script this...
Would anyone be able to help?
Thank you in advance, Steve.
