Can I see who deleted an item from a public folder

Hi,

We're using public folders as a shared inbox for a group of users. Once
someone has handled the email, they're supposed to delete it. Problem is,
some emails are being deleted before they're handled.

I've not been able to find a way in Outlook or ESM to discover who deleted a
particular email. Is this possible to figure out programmatically?

Cheers,
TC
 
The best approach to solve this problem is to not use Outlook out all. An
Exchange Store Event Sink can be created with VB6 for example, that can hook
into the Asynchronous OnDelete event for a particular Public Folder. Your
code can trap this event and write to a log file, database, send an e-mail,
etc. I'm not sure where in the CDOEX/EXOLEDB APIs can you determine who is
doing the deleting, but it has to be there somewhere.

See this page for more info on event sinks with VB:
