Hi All,

I have come across a situation where a user (student in a school) has sent a
message, deleted it and then emptied their Recovered Deleted Items folder.
The user only has access to OWA and not Outlook 2007. Is their an AD
attribute that can prevent a user from purging his deleted items permanently
or is it just part of the OWA code? Anybody have any ideas on this? Thanks.

All servers are W2k3 sp2 with E2K7 SP2
2 mailbox server
2 cas/hub
1 edge
1 UM

Nope. If you want to ensure that everything is always retained, then you
need to employ some sort of mailbox journaling, which requires a third-party
tool to make it useful.

Hi Aurelius,

To my knowledge the recycle bin is in two stages in exchange 2007.
You might ask the exchange administrator to try to recover the item in the
recycle bin on the exchange server...

Good luck.

The recycle bin on the Exchange Server, known as the "dumpster", is accessed
using Outlook's Recover Deleted Items feature.

Hi Ed,

I didn't think that there was a way to do this without journaling but just
wanted to see if anybody had any thoughts on it. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry it took so long to thank you. I never received notification that
somebody replied to my post.
