PERFORMING OPERATIONS ON DELETED ITEMS USING DELETED PROPERTY INFORMATION

Deleted property information relating to deleting an item, such as an electronic message, is stored for later use. The stored deleted property information may relate to one or more different properties that are associated with the deletion of the item, such as: a time when the item was deleted, a device from which item was deleted, a device on which the item was stored when deleted, a location of a user where the item was deleted, an application associated with the item, and the like. The deleted property information may be used to perform various operations. For example, deleted items may be sorted using the deleted item property information (e.g. time of deletion, device, location, application), rules may be created to use the deleted property information, deleted items may be restored based on the deleted property information, and the like.
