For the most part it is gone, you might be able to recover it from a RAW dump of HD or memory. You also need to look at the log files as they house all of the data written to the store.

Exchange 5.5 SP4, 10 Exchange servers, 1 site Outlook 2000 clients I was tasked with the following and need some help finding the answers. I need to be assured that when an item is deleted from a mailbox, it is really gone. We currently have the dumpster feature enabled which I plan to disable. My question is, if a mail item is deleted and the dumpster is turned off, is the item really unrecoverable? If it is recoverable, how can I change our configuration so that it is unrecoverable? Is that even possible? Could someone reconstruct that data in any way even though it has been deleted? On a side note, I know that backups play into this and that will be addressed later. Thanks everyone....
