Prevent user or users from deleting emails in Outlook or OWA?

Dear,

I have a question, I have Exchange 2013 SP1, how I can prevent user/s from deleting emails (specifically sent items) from Outlook or OWA?

Thanks

Regards

I don't believe that's possible.  If you're worried about missing/deleted emails and you need some method of bringing emails back, then I'd look into journaling and/or archiving.

The only option I am aware of is using an inplace legal hold.

Hi,

In your case, you can enable litigation hold for these users in your Exchange 2013 server. If you want to place all mailboxes on hold, you can use the following cmdlet:

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq "UserMailbox"} | Set-Mailbox -LitigationHoldEnabled $true -LitigationHoldDuration 2555

For your reference:

Hope this can be helpful to you.

Best regards,
