IMAPIFolder:eleteMessages()
A note on terminology - a soft delete in Outlook is actually a move to the
Deleted Items folder, it has nothing to do with deletion.
A message is deleted when you call IMAPIFolder:eleteMessages().
Hard delete in Extended MAPI is when you use the DELETE_HARD_DELETE flag
when calling IMAPIFolder:eleteMessages (Exchange specific). In this case
you will not be able to undelete the message. Normally Exchange retains
deleted messages for some time, so you can undelete them using "Deleted Item
Recovery"

Ok,thanks.

BTW i notice that for a soft deleted item the parent is the original folder
and not the deleted folder?!

Thanks.

Do you mean the MailItem.Parent property? When and how do you read it?

My question still stands: "Do you mean the MailItem.Parent property? When
and how do you read it?".
