How to Recover Deleted Mailbox Exchange 2010 Server

Microsoft introduced two ways for recovering deleted mailbox in Exchange 2010 server one is using Exchange Management Shell (PowerShell-EMS) and second one is Exchange Management Console (EMC). In this blog section we’ll learn about how to use the EMC or EMS to recover deleted mailbox from Exchange server.

So First we need to check the retention policy.

  •  Navigate Organization configuration and choose Mailbox
  • From the right pane select the Database Management tab under the mailbox
  • Right click on the Mailbox Database which you want to verify the retention period and choose Properties tab
  •  Hit on Limits tab
