"Expired" is a specific property of a mail item, that can be set either by
the sender or the recipient of a message...that way, if a message is sent
about a meeting on April 15, the message can be set to "expire" after April
15 so the recipient knows it's no longer important. The message would not
be deleted automatically except if you have that checkbox checked in the
AutoArchive settings and AA is set to run on that mail folder. Does your
CEO know for a fact that he had any such messages in his mail folders?
