Help with CDO and Shift Deleted items

[Bob Smith]

Is there a way through CDO to identify items that have been SHIFT-DELETED
from outlook. I need to run a report against all users to see how many items
were shift deleted on a specific day. I am familiar with CDO and how to crawl
folders, I'm just not sure how to look for hard deleted items.

As far as I know, no. Each folder has its own dumpster you know, in addition
to the one you see in the user interface in Deleted Items by selecting
Tools, Recover Deleted Items. You'd have to traverse each folder in the
mailbox and get that dumpster for your report.
