It's the same with Microsoft, they're screwing the e-mail.

Example: Before when you would delete an e-mail, you had an 
option to delete it permanently through the UI using: "Shift + 
Del", it would show a message/warning about this and if you agree 
it was done and  the message would be deleted.

But then they created "Recovery Item"! - So you do the same steps 
like above, it shows the warning that the message will be delete 
permanently but guess what, it goes to a folder called Recovery 
Items, so now you need to delete the e-mail twice.

By the way if just delete an e-mail through the UI without using 
Shift you need to delete 3 times to get rid of, from: Inbox 
Folder, Deleted Folder and finally Recovery Items Folder.

And there is no way to avoid Recovery Folder, there is no option 
to disable this "feature".

Well the above is deleting through the UI, but when using an 
e-mail client like Thunderbird for example, the deleted message 
will go to Recovery Items and there is NO way to map this folder, 
so for 30 days (Default) the message will be in you e-mail like 
it or not, otherwise you need to go through the UI and do this 
manually.

It's just a shame.

Matheus.
