Recover Deleted Items Using OWA

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Filing this under “you never stop learning new things”.

Thanks to a post on one of the ILTA eGroups, I discovered a neat little trick that lets you use Outlook Web Access to recover deleted items that were “hard deleted” directly from the inbox and thus are not available using the normal Outlook Recover Deleted Items feature.

You can find the details on it from Petri, which much more information on recovering deleted items in general, but suffice it to say, if you delete something directly from the inbox, navigate your way to this OWA page:

https://server_name/exchange/user_name/inbox/?cmd=showdeleted

I tested it out by hard deleting a few items today, and sure enough, I logged into OWA and saw them on that page, with the option to recover them. Nice!

It may not be a huge surprise to know that I agree with Neil Gordon on this one:

“It turns out that a public speaker’s most important asset isn’t their theatricality, their story, or how extroverted and boisterous they are.

It’s their capacity to help their audience to believe that change is possible.”

As Bruce Schneier said when linking to this, this is pretty low-tech, but it does highlight a scary misuse of data: “Mr Fearn said the talent assistant told him they were confused because he had apparently emailed them to withdraw his application on Wednesday. “They forwarded the email, which was sent from an account using…

So, as part of Apple’s product announcements today, they also teamed up with the band U2 to give away their new album to 500 million iTunes users. In terms of marketing, it’s an interesting ploy. Why charge for the music at all, why not give it away and make your money as a musician from…

Important Lesson in Networking

My lunch hour today wasn’t anything overly special. I met up with a peer from another firm, to chat and share some information.
