Outlook Express problem
My daughter deleted my folder with all of my emails in it. It is not showing up in the Deleted folder either. Is there a way to retreive the messages??

If they aren't in the deleted items folder then they are gone.

The danger with your cunning little plan is, that you could overwrite vital OE-info when installing those cunning little programs!

In the services of Techspot I downloaded Handy recovery,and deleted 6 old emails as a test.
It took about 40 minutes to complete the search.It found everything I`ve ever deleted,ever.Including some very old emails.However, it didn`t find the emails I`d just deleted.Perhaps I should have deleted a folder.That would have been a better test.

If you have XP, maybe a system-restore brings them back?
Provided of course that your system-restore was switched ON.
