A customer came up to me a few minutes ago and asked me if she could undelete some emails.  Well, she did not so much come up to me and ask.  There was a bit of a sense of urgency in her voice.  Well, not so much urgency as it was panic.  And she did not ask, per say, it was more like this —————————–>

Naturally I said, no.  Almost every answer I give is NO, but then I do a Scotty (yes, from Star Trek) and say, “Unless…” and I check with Google (the Tech Support Guy’s Secret Weapon).  Low and behold there was a way to undelete emails that have been purged from the Recycle Bin… IF the Exchange Server is set up for such a contingency.  Luckily ours is.

Here is a shoutout to the guys over at addictivetips.com for their solution.

It goes like this: first click on your Deleted Items folder, next select the Folder tab, and if the Exchange Server is configured for it the Recover Deleted Items button will not be grayed out.  But never fear, if the server is not configured properly the link above will give you step by step instructions on how to fix that as well.

Good luck!
