12.2 Managing Your Trash

All deleted mail and phone messages, appointments, tasks, documents, and reminder notes are stored in the Trash. Items in the Trash can be viewed, opened, or returned to your Mailbox until the Trash is emptied. (Emptying the Trash removes items in the Trash from the system.)

You can empty your entire Trash, or empty only selected items. Items in the Trash are emptied according to the way your GroupWise administrator specifies, or you can empty the Trash manually. The GroupWise administrator can specify that your Trash is emptied automatically on a regular basis.

  1. In your Mailbox, click the Trash folder.

You can open, save, and view information on items in the Trash. You can also permanently remove items or return them to the Mailbox. Right-click an item in the Trash to see more options.

12.2.2 Undeleting an Item in Your Trash

The GroupWise Windows client includes an option for automatically emptying the Trash after a specified number of days.
