<p dir="auto">I tested this and it works fine. I think you may be running into the “when the Rules are applied” part of this…</p>
<p dir="auto">Remember, the rule is only applied when the message is delivered into the SMOX, not when you create the SMBOX. In my scenario, I setup everything as you did but disabled the delete rule and then sent a few test messages. All were delivered as expected into the SMBOX that had the delete rule. I then enabled the delete rule and while leaving the previous messages in place. I then sent more test messages all of which were immediately deleted however the messages that were sent before I enabled the rule remained…</p>

</blockquote><p dir="auto">Originally, I did not have SMBOX-2 and the rule was attached to SMBOX-1 but the rule didn't execute then either. I thought creating a sub-mailbox that only contained messages older than 14 days and adding the rule to that mailbox would get the rule to execute.</p>

Perhaps this is your issue in the cascading rules process?</p>
