You should set up the deleted items recovery capability, or perhaps you already have it and don't know that you have it. I've got ours set to 21 days. That means that anyone can go back and recover an item within the last 3 weeks. Fortunately I have plenty of room on my server. I may expand it to a full month. anything to keep from having to use a tape b/u. If you need more info, let me know.

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.
