My boss inadvertently deleted a bunch of emails he didn’t want to delete
in Outlook 2003 running against Exchange 2000. He went to the deleted
items folder, selected them all, and dragged them to the Inbox. Outlook
worked on it for a while but when he goes to the Inbox the emails aren’t
there.
I enabled deleted item recovery on all folders and the emails don’t show
up in the list. I turned off the web page for the Today folder and the
emails don’t show up there either. I tried running a search for them
from the top folder down and it can’t find them. I initially thought he
might have just dropped them on the wrong folder but I checked the
folders around the Inbox and didn’t find the emails (the search would
have found them there anyway).
I’m concerned that I won’t be able to get them back if deleted item
recovery doesn’t even recognize that they’re gone – maybe Outlook
doesn’t know they’re gone. Yet again, maybe the fact that they aren't
in deleted item recovery means they aren't gone and I should think of it
as a good sign.
Any ideas?
