You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Retention and legal holds" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Note:
You can't use the EMC to enable recoverable items.

This example uses the Set-Mailbox command to enable single item recovery and sets the number of days that deleted items are retained.

	Copy Code
Set-Mailbox -Identity MBX01 -SingleItemRecoveryEnabled $True -RetainDeletedItemsFor 30

Note:
By default, the mailbox uses the deleted item retention settings of the mailbox database, but you can override the default can be overridden by setting it at the mailbox level for specific mailboxes.

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-Mailbox.
