Using Exchange 2k for multiple users. One user reported that they could not recover deleted items from their email. My works fine - I have checked other users and have found some that can and some that cannot. If and item is in the deleted items folder and I delete it - I cannot go to recover deleted items to get it back. Recover deleted items is totally blank. We are in the process to moving our mailboxes to Exchange 2003, but I have some users on the old server and some on the new. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS.
 
What is your retention set to on Deleted items? How are your users deleting email? If they use Shift-Delete, it will by-pass the "Delete-Items" and the "Recover Deleted Items".

I've checked the retention and it's okay. The email is being deleted by right clicking and delete or the black 'x' on the toolbar. They are not by-passing delete items. I thought of this first. But this is not the case.
Thanks for the reply.
