Help needed on deleted mail.

[hypetektips]

Can someone help me out please thank you so much.

Got a situation that I am trying to figure out best solution. Here is what happened: I had a mailbox that was given owner rights to 2nd user , the 2nd user deleted messages from inbox and emptied the delted items. I can't recover deleted items since it wasn't deleted from the original mailbox it was deleted from the 2nd users mailbox which had rights to view the original mailbox. (hope that makes sense). Anyway what I am trying to figure out is a way for me to restore those emails (a lot of them). I have a backup from night before and I am trying to restore whatever was there.

Can you do 'restore deleted items' from the second user's Deleted Items folder? I think you should be able to restore anything that was, at one point, in a user's Deleted Items folder. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's worth a try.

Otherwise you're going to get to learn about Recovery Storage Groups!

Ok, thanks to anyone who replied. Fortunately she didn't use shift delete so I was able to retrieve all emails using "recover deleted items" from the user who deleted them.
