Deleting and restoring e-mail users

When you delete an email user, the Do not display in address lists option is enabled and the email user is no longer shown in address books.

Configuring deferred deletion

By default, email users are finally deleted from the database after 30 days. During this period you have the option to reactivate the email users. A restore is not possible once deferred deletion has expired. In the Designer, you can set an alternative delay on the EX0MailUser table.
