Don't use "X" in outlook as delete icon, it looks like "close"
 

Outlook should change the delete icon from the "X" to something else, it
looks too much like the "close window X". I lost an important note and
others in my office have as well due to that similarity. What I thought was
a close, was actually a delete.

Don't use "X" in outlook as delete icon, it looks like "close"
 

The X icon for delete is a good distance away from the corner of the title
bar when X for close is. The only similarity is two crossed lines - the
colors and shape are much different.

Is your office using exchange server? if so, you may be able to recover the
deleted items.
