In my case, Outlook 2000, C/W mode, used with an Exchange Server. I created
a rule to "Permanently Delete" a message with specific words in the subject
line, sent myself a message with a different email client using my personal
account. The message was, indeed, permanently deleted; my
"DumpsterAlwaysOn" setting (which allows deleted item recovery from folders
other than the Deleted Items folder) would allow it to be recovered,
however, it WAS deleted in place (Shift-Delete) from my Inbox, bypassing the
Deleted Items folder. Note that this rule doesn't work with earlier version
clients (Outlook 97/98) and is a client side rule if used with an Exchange
Server.
