Hi everyone,
1. Linking emails to contacts
If I delete an email that was linked to a contact in BCM, will I still be able to read and access that email in the history for the contact? What if the email had an attachment - can I still access/open the attachment if the email was deleted?
2. Deleted emails
When do emails really "delete"? I am confused as to when an email is really gone - I see emails crossed off, for example, when I move an email from one folder to another, but then if I double click that crossed off email I can still read it.
Thanks!

BCM stores a link to the Outlook email. If you delete the email in Outlook, BCM will not longer be able to open it, but can only display some properties of that email it stored in the BCM database.
When Items are deleted, they are really move to the deleted items folder, and can still be opened. Items are "hard" deleted (removed) when they are deleted from the deleted items folder.

Thanks Luther.
I am still confused though.
Right now in my inbox I have the view "group messages marked for deletion" - and I have 100 messages with a line through them indicating they were deleted/marked for deletion. Even if I empty the deleted items folder (which I also have set to do automatically when I exit the program) I will still continue to see those messages.
It doesn't bother me that I see them (I like to remember what it is I deleted) but I just want to understand why they still show if they were supposed to be deleted.

I don't have that behavior, and I don't know what would cause it. Everything in the InBox, and all Outlook folders, is controlled by Outlook, not BCM, so you may get a better answer in the microsoft.public.outlook group.
