Where have all my deleted items gone?

In answer to the question “Where have all my deleted items gone?” - the answer really should be “Well, they were deleted”.
Here is a tip - when using email, don’t store essential files in your deleted items folder - or treat it as a long term mail archive (hoping to keep your inbox size small !?). Having recently switched on the “clear deleted items on exit” group policy I was faced with explaining to some pretty irritated users that the deleted items folder is for … well … deleted items. Deleted items are typically items that you don’t want anymore - at least that’s what I thought - but what do I know.
I hope there aren’t any group policies dealing with the sent items folder.

I cannot understand why someone would even keep important stuff in their deleted file - I mean, how hard is it to set up a new folder? Poor you having to deal with them
