For one reason or the other, you may decide to your mailbox for instance if it you have not used it for a long time. As such, Microsoft Exchange allows you to purge your mailbox but the advantage is, the purged mail is not removed from your computer permanently. Therefore, it should be relatively easy to recover a purged mailbox if you need the information you had purged again. Your mail is kept in the server for some time before it is eventually deleted from the system. With such a mechanism, you can easily recover your mail if the need arises again. But even so, perhaps it is important to note at this point that the mail is available as long the period your server administrator decides. That means the duration for which it is kept may vary accordingly.
