Office 365 retention settings will be activated on the evening of Friday, April 11. These retention settings govern the automatic management of emails that have been moved to the Deleted Items folder and Junk Email folder.  A couple of things to note: 

  • Items will be automatically removed from your Deleted Items folder after 30 days. You can recover those removed items for up to 14 days after their removal. See the Knowledge Base article on how to restore deleted items.
