The PR_EXPIRY_NUMBER property is used for sending messages that expire if they are not read within a certain period. The unread messages no longer exist when the period has expired. If a message with this property is sent to a public folder, it expires immediately.
The information store uses the PR_EXPIRY_NUMBER and PR_EXPIRY_UNITS properties and the MAPI PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME property to calculate the value of the PR_EXPIRY_TIME property. PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME and PR_EXPIRY_TIME are standard MAPI properties.
For example:
PR_EXPIRY_TIME = PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME + (PR_EXPIRY_UNITS + PR_EXPIRY_NUMBER)
