When you use Shift+Delete keys in Outlook, your are using what is called “hard delete.” This results in e-mail that is not recoverable using the Outlook 2003 “Recover Deleted Items” option. These steps may help to recover these items:

1. First, go to Run and type regedit.
2. Locate the following registry key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options
3. Right click on Options, click Add Value, then add the following registry value:
Value name: DumpsterAlwaysOn
Data type: DWORD
Value data: 1
4. Go to “Recover Deleted Items” option and recover your e-mail.

Outlook 2007 users should be able to recover items without having to follow the aforementioned steps:
