Completely lost, unless those emails were replied to (and in sent items) or also sent to another employee and can be pulled from their mailbox.
In a normal exchange database, the transactions are frequent and plentiful. There may not even be any whitespace where there was 5 minutes ago. I'd chalk this up to lesson learned on so many fronts. 1) important emails in deleted items folder. Does this person file important documents in the waste paper basket by his desk? 2) no current backups. well. 'nough said. (of course you could mean since receipt of this email) 3) deleted item retention set to '0'. Out of curiosity, is transaction logging set to circular?

One of our customers incidentally deleted some important mails from deleted items folder. Deleted items retention is set to 0 for private information store, so it cannot be recovered using this feature. There is no current backup. I know, that mails still probably are somewhere in exchange database, but marked as white space. Is there any way to get it back, or is it completely lost ? If anyone is sure that it is possible or impossible, send me email as quickly as possible ... Thanks a lot Honza Novak _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
