Create 5 users with their mailbox. Delete mailbox for each user and create
again. Open exchange system manager, go to mailbox node (under
administartive group->...->server->first storage group->mailbox
store->mailboxes). run cleanup agent for mailbox(right click on node and
select). This will show all deleted mailboxes in right pane. To delete a
mailbox permanently right click on it and select purge. To delete multiple
mailboxes select all and right click mouse, there is no purge option.
Is there any way to delete multiple mailboxes?

Hi,

You can just wait for your deleted mailbox retention time to pass and have
them automatically delete.

Do you know where and how to configure this?

No. What i Know?
we create user and its mailbox in active directory. In exchange system
manager we can recreate mailbox. To permanently delete mailbox we run
cleanup agent and select purge for any delete mailbox. But i dont know how
to permanently delete all mailboxes after running cleanup agent on mailboxes
node.

All deleted mailboxes will automatically be purged - you can configure the
amount of time in days and whether to delete them prior to a backup.
