Is there a way to use powershell to recover items from a users mailbox dumpster? They did a Shift+Delete from the inbox folder andI want to be able to recover them without going to the users desktop.

Hi, I dont think that its possible. You can see the number of deleted items using powershell. Thanks.

How do you see the number of deleted items using powershell?

Hi, It will look like this --> Get-MailboxStatistics User@Domain.com | Select *Deleted* Thanks.

Hi, The above powershell will give you the count of items in the dumpster. To get the item count from "Deleted items" folder you can use --> Get-MailboxFolderStatistics User@Domainname.com | where {$_.FolderPath -like "/Deleted Items"} Thanks.

Create an Outlook profile on your machine (don't use cachedmode) and recover them from your own machine.Why can't the person whose mailbox this is do this for themselves?---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

As rich said configure his OL profile and then recover deleted item. Even though Powershell will list the deleted mails but it wont be able to recover it. Here is good article to recover deleted item, How to Recover a Deleted Item http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997155.aspx Vinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|
