Barry - 
I wrote the following CLP which may do what you want... 
Note: I do use the TAATOOL CHKDAT command in this program.... There 
seems to be a Y2K problem which won't select item older than 1/1/00
if a date in the year 2000 is specified. (Minor inconvenience...)
If you want to delete mail older than 12/31/99 use a date of 12/31/99.

Subject: Deleting Office Vision Incoming Mail Items.
Does anyone know if there is a way to purge all incoming mail items in
Office Vision without having to call up each individual users mail and
delete it manually. I know you can delete all mail for a user by
removing the user from the system but I have been trying to find a way
to purge all incoming mail items based on a cutoff date.
Tks Barry
