I am using Vista Windows Mail. When messages are erased from Deleted Items,
what actually happens to them?

Exactly that, gone.

The file space used by those messages is marked 'unused', which means
the OS can use that space for storing something else.
Are you trying to recover a deleted message? Try the free Recuva
undelete program: http://www.recuva.com/

Hi Gary. I wasn't trying to recover a deleted message. I've never seen
'deleted' emails in the Recycle Bin. I was trying to find out if emails
erased from the 'Deleted Items' are really deleted, freeing up space. As you
say that the OS can reuse this space, I believe you have answered my
question. Thanks.
