I am looking for clear instructions on how to set the time that items deleted from the Deleted Items mailbox stay stored outside the this mailbox before they are finally deleted without hope of restoring. Aside from setting the time period, what are the steps required to actually restore these soft deleted items.

Look in the properties of the Information Store. It has the Item retention time which you can set to suit.

To restore these items you do it from the Outlook client. Highlight the item in the deleted items and choose the recover deleted items command from one of the menus, can't remember which one.

For this feature to work u must have exchange 5.5, and outlook 98, or outlook
2000. Not outlook 97.

Also be sure, not check the backup option,
meaning u do not want to totaly delete the
items after backup.

Good Luck
