To be pedantic, under standard IMAP client operations, when an email is deleted, it is moved to the deleted items folder - it is not removed from the server immediately.
It then sits there until the deleted items folder is emptied by...
- User action
- Email client settings (such as empty the deleted items folder on exit)
- Plusnet server house keeping, which every week (IIRC Monday evenings for Plusnet vISP email) removes items deleted 8 or more days previously
The latter gives a maximum of 14 days to back out a delete.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.
