"Recover Deleted Items" has very unexpected result
Today, I clicked "Recover Deleted Items" for the first time. I wanted to see if I could find copies of some sent emails. I expected to see things from the last 30 days since that's what it says will be displayed. BUT - instead, it shows me EVERYTHING going back to 2017 and beyond. How can that be?

The Recover folder retains message for 30 days after they are deleted, NOT after they were created, sent, or received. So if you had mail from 2017 in your Sent folder and deleted those messages today, they would show up in Recover for the next 30 days.
