Deleted distribution list but not in deleted folder
If it's not in your Deleted Items Folder it is gone and will need to be
restored from a backup. -- Russ Valentine "marina chang" wrote in message ... hi, I just deleted a distribution list when I was just trying to remove one contact.

Yes/No)". Your list is then deleted without any warning. This is an awful design given the fact that when you delete anything there is some warning message associated with a Delete Function. Also, the Delete button is so close to the Save & Close button. Another awful design. This is so dangerous specially when no warning message exists when deleting and your Distribution List with 100's or more entries can be deleted without any warning.

Sue, I just tested this by deleting a single contact. I do not have a Deleted Items folder under Contacts. I went to the Deleted Items folder under my Mailbox still no luck. Am I missing something? I am using Outlook 2007 Pro on my office PC. Also, why does the Delete functionality does not provide any warning? That does not sound like a best practice.

How many folder sets do you have? The item will be in the Deleted Items folder that resides in the same folder set from which you deleted the item. By default, Deleted Items is sorted bu item date and contacts are usually quite old so will sort early in the list. Sort by the Icon field and it will bering all like items together. It will make it much easier to find non-mail items. Do you need someone to remind you it is bedtime?

Deleted distribution list but not in deleted folder

I just deleted a distribution list when I was just trying to remove one contact. I checked my deleted box and the list is not there. Any suggestions on where else to look? I have a large event approaching and this list is crucial. It would really suck to have to recreate the darn thing! If you have more than one data store and the item was not in the default data store, the item won't be in the defatul Deleted Items folder, it will be in the Deleted Items folder of the data store the item was in originally. The Deleted Items folder is normally sorted by "Received" date. Now, this date doesn't mean a lot for Distribution Lists, but it will usually be an older date. Thus, it may sort to a location earlier in the list of items in the Deleted Items folder. To make it easier to find, click the Icon column in the header line to sort by icon and that will make it easier to find. The istribution List icon will sort toward the top of the folder. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
