Hello everyone, I'm hoping that you guys could help me with this. We're using Exchange2007 with outlook2007, and Public Folders are shared by the whole dept. "Finance" is the name of the public folder. To avoid users to followed up on the same item, I created a subfolder in the Finance folder so they can move the item to the subfolder after finished viewing it so that the other users in the dept don't have to work on the same email item again. The problem is that some user was lazy to move the item by right-click the email item and select MOVE TO FOLDER etc. Users were just deleted the item instead of moving it to the subfolder. I tried to modify the permissions so users couldn't delete the item, but then users are denied to move item when they don't have the DELETE enable under CHANGE SHARING PERMISSION SETTINGS. Is there away to deny users to delete the email item, but able to move an item (not a copy) to the subfolder? Thanks all.

Sounds like you should teach people not to delete those items! Assuming you have deleted item retention set, they can recover any deleted item via Outlook. Is it really that big of a deal if they accidently delete something if they can recover it on their own?
