Step nr 1 that you suggested is not possible because the mail is already deleted, so I guess that I should just do step 1 then? I will contact the guy tomorrow and have it done.
Hi,
Sorry, that sounds a little confusing to me.
Anyway, yes, I realize the message is "already deleted," but since you were asking about whether it could be
recovered or not, I was suggesting a course of action to determine that. By going to see the guy and watching him access his Hotmail account, you'd be able to see (at the bottom of the deleted items folder) whether there is a link allowing him to reclaim deleted/emptied messages. By then clicking that link he & you would see whether the message that you want gone-for-good has been restored to his account or not (either in the inbox or the trash folder).
If -- repeat: IF -- that process does, in fact, recover the message you want permanently gone,
that's when I would go through the steps I mentioned. (As noted, it's only a
suggestion to go through those steps to see if, after all that, your message is finally permanently deleted and unrecoverable by the guy via his Hotmail account.)
Anyway, let us know what you try and what happens !
