When you delete a mail contact, the Do not display in address lists option is enabled and the mail contact is no longer shown in address books.
Configuring deferred deletion
By default, mail contacts are finally deleted from the database after 30 days. During this period you have the option to reactivate the mail contacts. A restore is not possible once deferred deletion has expired.
In the Designer, you can set an alternative delay on the EX0MailContact table. For more information on configuring the deferred deletion, refer to the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
