  Exchange 2010 SP2 5v2
  We only have 1 retention policy tag and policy in our env.  That works fine.  Basically says delete trash after 5 days.

  I need to create a tag and policy for one mailbox that has an automated process behind it.

  Basically I need it to delete all the emails from the "sent items" in one mailbox.

  Created a new tag "tag type - sent items"
  Age limit "2 days"
  Action "Permanitely delete"

  Created a new Retention Policy, Bound the Tag, and added the one mailbox.

  The mailbox still has everything in the "sent items"

  I also tried changing the tag to "delete and allow recovery" and still nothing.
  I then ran Start-Managedfolderassistant -identity "user mailbox" -verbose 
  that commandlet returned no errors that i see.

  EDIT:
  If I log into the mailbox with my outlook 2010 client, using cached mode, it shows at the bottom of the emails in the "sent items" - "retention policy:  Sent Items 2 days expires 6/4/2014.  I'll see what happens but I had this set to 1 day and they all were still there as well.  I'll keep an eye on it
