XADM: Clients Cannot Recover Items After Item Recovery Is Enabled

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SUMMARY

MORE INFORMATION

Item Recovery can be enabled or disabled for the private or public information store objects, a specific mailbox, or a specific public folder. However, changes made to the Item Recovery settings may not be immediately available to clients that are currently logged on to the Exchange Server computer.

Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange clients may be unable to see deleted items in the Recover Deleted Items From dialog box, even if the Item Recovery option has been enabled on the Exchange Server computer. Conversely, clients may be able to recover deleted items even if the Item Recovery option has been disabled on the server.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

• Restart the Outlook or Exchange client.
  
  -or-



• Stop and restart the Microsoft Exchange information store service.
