Restore deleted conversation in an Office 365 Group
- Feb 02, 2018
Yeah, we've been trying to get the Group folks to realize that exposing some additional folders for Groups is a must... Anyway, to answer your question, yes, it is possible, but you have to resort to some workarounds. The easier one is to open the Group mailbox via the OWA "add shared folder" functionality - it will expose all the Group folders and you will be able to drag/drop or move the conversation out of Deleted items.
Another method is to do it via tools such as the EWSEditor: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exovoice/2017/04/26/recover-deleted-items-from-a-group-mailbox-in-office-365/
Pinging TonyRedmond just to say "I told you so" :)

I understand this conversation is five years old.
This works for me when I right-click on OWA > Folders and add a shared folder for an Outlook group I am a member of. I am then able to see the Recycle Bin. So, thanks for this advice!
I cannot add a Teams group shared folder using this method. I understand Teams groups are (now) hidden from the GAL and the group calendar is disabled (either or both can be enabled with Power Shell). So, how to expose the Recycle Bin for a Teams group mailbox?
I see the link from the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/exovoice/recover-deleted-items-from-a-group-mailbox-in-office-365 no longer works.
I think the EWS method is no longer supported. What now? Thank you.
