For those who have installed and use Microsoft Exchange, could you
please help me with the following issue:

I need to know how I can physically delete (which files and/or folders
from the hard drive) the received and sent e-mail messages on a
Windows 2000 Advanced Server using Microsoft Exchange 5.5.

What I'd like to do is get rid of all traces of the received messages
and the sent messages. Where are these mails stored physically on the
hard drive, are they in any special files, and if yes, how can we
determine the path to them, so we can erase them?

I don't want anyone else to see what mail messages have been received
and sent. Once the reply to my message has been sent, I would like to
get rid of all the correspondence, but I would like to do this
automatically, so I need to know in which file(s) these messages are
stored.

Many thanks for your help and ideas. It will be very helpful.
