• To quickly retrieve a deleted item, drag the item from Deleted Items folder to another folder.
• If you retrieve a deleted task that you assigned to another person, and you were receiving status reports for that task, you can not receive the status reports after you retrieve the deleted task.

If you delete items from the Deleted Items folder, and you are using Microsoft Exchange Server, you may be able to recover the items.
