Don't forget that the dumpsteralways on feature enables items to be recovered that haven't touched the 'deleted items folder'. Even if you turn it off; users can still retrieve deleted items that have been cleared from the deleted items folder. That's by design. Regards Mr Louis Joyce Data Supp

RE: If I delete an email is it really gone?

I didn't see in the conversation, and I know you said backup later, but their is the option on the server to not fully delete messages until backed up. In other words, even if you delete the message, empty deleted items, and empty deleted item retention, the message is still retained until it m

Re: If I delete an email is it really gone?

The allocated space within the EDB file is marked available for overwrite, just as when you delete a file off a hard drive. So yes, the data is still there but all pointers to it have been removed. Given the dynamic nature of Exchange's database technology it'll probably be overwritten fairly quic

RE: If I delete an email is it really gone?

You are not going to be able to realize your quest. First, don't turn off the dumpster, it saves butts many more times than it burns them. A) As our folks at Enron have found out, deleting a message is a long way from destroying it. Once a message has been created, just assume that it's there
