Overview

When a mailbox item is deleted from your Micron21 Hosted Exchange account, it is moved the the "Deleted Items" folder.  When that mailbox item is deleted from the "Deleted Items" folder, it is moved to a hidden folder named "Recoverable Items" and is available for recovery for 30 days. After 30 days, the mail item is permanently deleted. 

A mailbox item can be the following:

  • Mail item (e.g an email)

  • Calendar item (e.g an event in a Calendar)

  • Contact
