The messages remain in Deleted Items.dbx until either you compact, or they
are overwritten, which would take awhile.

It seems that mails which have been deleted in the folder "Deleted
Objects"
still do exist since the corresponding dbx folder isn't empty. Therefore,
is
it possible to retrieve a deleted mail from the dbx folder and how? Thank
you.
