Retrieving deleted email
Thanks for the response. I am only a little familiar with PowerShell but was able to get connected to an Excange Mailbox. But when I try to recover email using Get-RecoverableItems, the following msg is issued.:
Get-RecoverableItems : The term 'Get-RecoverableItems' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the
path is correct and try again.

What am I not doing? What am I missing?
In the meantime, I looked around is the EAC for Office. If I click on a user, mailbox, options come up and one of them is Recover Deleted mail. When I did it, a msg says that there was 50 items recoverd but I could not find where they went. Any Ideas?
Thank You,
Mike
Mike Jackura in the new Exchange Admin Center (https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/) you can recover deleted items in the UI. The maximum single item retention is 30 days, default (if you didn't change it) is 14 days. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/recipients-in-exchange-online/manage-user-mailboxes/change-deleted-item-retention
So if you didn't change it to 30 days or have a hold on the mailbox (in-place hold) then the email will be lost and won't be recoverable through Microsoft either.
- Yeah, the info is in the above link as well but good to point it out.
ChristianBergstrom sorry, I overlooked your answer and postet the same link twice.
