Deleted Emails

I am using Vista Windows Mail. When messages are erased from Deleted Items,
what actually happens to them?

Re: Deleted Emails

The file space used by those messages is marked 'unused', which means
the OS can use that space for storing something else.

Are you trying to recover a deleted message? Try the free Recuva
undelete program: http://www.recuva.com/

Re: Deleted Emails

Hi Gary. I wasn't trying to recover a deleted message. I've never seen
'deleted' emails in the Recycle Bin. I was trying to find out if emails
erased from the 'Deleted Items' are really deleted, freeing up space. As you
say that the OS can reuse this space, I believe you have answered my
question. Thanks.
