RESTORING DELETED ITEMS WITH CONTEXT

摘要

Deleted property information relating to deleting an item, such as an electronic message, is used for restoring the deleted item. The deleted property information is stored in response to deleting the item. The stored deleted property information identifies a location of where the item was deleted from and may include other information. The location information may be a specific location such as a folder (e.g. inbox, sent, folder 1, . . . ), a calendar, a network location, and the like. In response to a request to restore a deleted item, the deleted property information is used to restore the deleted item to the location where the item was when deleted. A graphical user interface may be used to assist a user in restoring deleted items. The user interface may display a user friendly name (e.g. “Inbox”, “Folder 1”, . . . ) of where the deleted item(s) will be/have been restored.
