Is there a way we can set Domino up where deleted emails from users can be saved in a folder before truly being purged from the system? I get several requests a week from people who need to retrieve their deleted mails, and I’d like to set up a “holding box” that would store mail temporarily for a day or two.
Thanks,
Darren

Hi Darren,you can use extension manager EM_NSFNOTEUPDATE (with “deleted” flag) to copy being deleted (on EM_BEFORE event) notes on mail*.* databases to some database.

Subject: And it can certainly be done in LotusScript as well, but given that the R6 mail templates give you exactly this functionality out of the can, I’m guessing you’re still using the R5 templates.
You have to go out of your way to not have this functionality with an R6 template, as it holds deleted mail for 48 hours. And R6.0.3FP1 fixes a bug so that you can set that time to be something other than 48 hours.
If, however, you wanted a technique that works even when the user hard deletes the message, you can use lotusscript to intercept the deletion and copy it somewhere, but keep in mind that disconnected users won’t be able to copy it to a server database.
