When you create a Recipient Policy to apply Mailbox Manager settings [for reference, read KBA 319188 "How to use recipient policies to control mailboxes in Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003"], the policy properties include the default mailbox folders like Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, et al. You can apply the policy to additional folders by clicking the Add button and adding a folder. However, applying a policy (e.g. to delete items older than a certain number of dates) to a particular folder does not apply this to a sub-folder. For instance, if you apply the policy to the default folder Inbox, it does not apply to any sub-folders of the Inbox folder.
I ended up testing this in response to a newsgroup question this morning. There's no relevant info in the online help or any KBA that I could find.
To apply Mailbox Manager policy to a sub-folder - in this case, a sub-folder called Spam in the default folder Inbox - click the Add button and type: Inbox/Spam.

thankyou. That's just that i was looking for.
was looking for this too thanks.
i'm looking for the opposite; in ex2007 i want the managed folder policy to apply only to the inbox or deleted items folder, and NOT subfolders within them-- is this possible?
If you're only waiting to have the policy effect the Inbox of the user remove the subfolder: \SPAM
In Exchange Server 2007, Managed Folder Mailbox Policy is enforced on a folder and all sub-folders. There's no mechanism to define separate settings for a sub-folder or exempt a sub-folder from the parent folder's policy.
Pretty late post, but in exchange 2003, what if the subfolder has a space in the name? I can't work out the syntax. Inbox/sub folder doesn't seem to find the folder called "sub folder".
"Inbox/sub folder"
Inbox/"sub folder"
?
