Thanks for all your comments, and in an ideal world we would find another way, alas, my particular would isnt ideal, and fixing things on a shoe string is how its got to be.
I agree with some other people I have spoken to in that restore backups to recover one deleted email is, well, over the top really. If a few simple changes can prevent this from happening and wont cost anything then it means it can be implemented. Thanks for the advice though. -----Original Message----- From: deji Agba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 January 2004 06:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GPO and the Outlook Dumpster your protection against this "CYA" type of deletion is backup. If you maintain a diligent backup of your Exchange Server, you can always do a restore to your offline server whenever you need to "prove" something. Disabling access to the "Recover Deleted Items" folder will not buy you much with a determined user who wants to cover his/her track. Shift-Del will not send deleted items to that folder, you know?

We have had people 'covering their tracks' by deleting emails. I don't want to disable the feature all together as it's a useful IT tool for managers etc, but not for users.
