Recover
deleted items...
Problem:
You "hard deleted" items (e-mails, contacts,
etc.) from a folder either via Outlook or WebMail. A
"hard delete" is when you either...
1) delete items from any folder, which moves them to
the Deleted Items folder, and then you subsequently
delete them from your deleted items folder, or
2) you pressed Shift + Delete when deleting these items,
in which case they bypass the Deleted Items folder.
Solution:
To recover these items, you can do so one of two ways:
1.
Via Outlook: if the items that you want to
recover were emptied or deleted from the Deleted Items
folder, then click on Outlook -> Tools -> Recover
Deleted Items. This will give you a list of all the
items that are recoverable from that particular folder.
Highlight the items that you need back, and click on
Recover Deleted Items. However, if you did a Shift +
Delete from another folder, then you need to add the
following registry entry to enable the Recover Deleted
Items option inside any of the other folders:
Start
Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the
following registry value:
Value name: DumpsterAlwaysOn
Data type: DWORD
Value data: 1
Quit Registry Editor.
Restart your computer.
2. Via WebMail (Outlook Web Access):
log in to WebMail normally, then right-click on the
folder that you want to recover items from, click on
"Open in New", and a new browser window will
launch. The URL in this new browser will have a "/?Cmd=contents"
at the end; change this to "?Cmd=showdeleted".
The URL should look something like:
http://webmail.cambrig.co.uk/exchange/TeamOffic.dem2/
Deleted%20Items/?Cmd=ShowDeleted
NOTE:
these deleted items are only available for two days
after you've done a hard delete.
NOTE:
If this doesn't work, we can manually restore / rebuild
if necessary.
A separate fee of £95 per hour is applied to this
additional service.
