Opening and Emptying the 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. You can empty the Trash manually. The system administrator can specify that your Trash is emptied automatically on a regular basis.

This section contains the following topics:
