You'll be able to recover this if deleted item retention is turned on. Otherwise, if the message was sent internally, it will be in the sent items folder of the sender (if they haven't deleted) or if it was sent externally, you may have some joy with your Internet Mail Connector folders in your exchsrvr folder.
Deleted Item Retention is detailed in Microsoft TechNet article Q249680. -----Original Message----- From: Mathews, James E. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 October 2001 16:19 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Retrieval of deleted item from the recycle bin One of the users at our firm deleted an email and then immediately emptied their deleted items folder (and before you ask have no idea why they would do this). is there anyway to get this back. We are running exchange 5.5 with outlook 2k client. I don't know of anyway to get it back but he claims that it has happened before and he got them back. I know we can restore messages from backup but he deleted it the same day so would not be on the nightly back up.
