It's not just picky. Deleted item recovery works for all deleted objects from all folders. You have to apply the registry hack to Outlook to be able to see deleted objects from all folders with Outlook. This is very different from what you said. Had you known the facts, you could still have recovered the item by applying the registry hack.

A hard delete simply marks it as deleted, without moving it to the Deleted Items folder. Exchange doesn't care how its deleted, it simply marks it as deleted and moves on, cleaning it up later. You do, however, have to enable the DumpsterAlwaysOn reghack as outlined in Technet to be able to recover it. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
