Outlook 2010 - Remove ability to delete emails

Is there a way (GPO preferably) to not allow users to delete emails in Outlook 2010? Customer wants it so a user cannot delete any email whatsoever. Want to remove delete, dragging to trash, etc.

Users are not allowed to use OWA or mobile devices.

I wear a lot of hats...

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

This cannot be accomplished. The only thing you can do is set a Legal Hold on the mailbox in question. A legal hold will put the email into a hidden folder "purges" folder where it will be kept until the legal hold has been removed.

Outside of that this cannot be accomplished.

Are Enterprise licenses or Office Pro Plus needed for Legal Hold?
Will SzymkowskiSenior Solution ArchitectCommented:
Legal Hold or In-Place Hold does require an Enterprise CAL for this to be enabled on a mailbox. The below link outlines all of the features in a table between standard and enterprise.

Only if I do an in-place archive will I need Office Pro Plus then?
Will SzymkowskiSenior Solution ArchitectCommented:
Where you see In-Place Archive you will see another (!) beside it. It will have a "learn more" link. Click that link and it will provide another table which outlines what versions of outlook are compatible with In-Place Archive.
