Outlook Deleted Mail - How2 Determine Which Folder it was Deleted
Wopster 6/6/2007 5:51:00 PM
Hello,

Is there a way to determine which mail folder a deleted mail item
originally came from (obviously a sub folder of the inbox not the inbox
itself)?
The reason I ask is this. Recently a terminated employee deleted many
messages, and emptied the recycle bin. Simple Enough, I run the recover
deleted items utility, there are more than 10,000 items in this utility, if I
recover them all to the deleted items folder, AND if there was a field that I
could add within the deleted items view (similar to the In folder field )
such as From folder or Original Folder (basically a folder to determine which
folder the item was deleted out of). I could then sort by the folder it came
from and determine which hundred messages or so I need out of the 10,000
recovered deleted items.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance,
Tony

There is no such field to the best of my knowledge
Why can't you recover messages from the original folders rather than Deleted
Items?
