:) Is there a way to retrieve an email that has been deleted from the Deleted Items on Outlook?? One of my users here emptied her Deleted Items only to realize that she need an email from that bunch of emails that she deleted. Before I go to tape and retrieve her .pst file, can I recover those emails or one specific email that was deleted??

Thanx guys!

A normal file can usually be retrieved using a recovery utility as long as the space on the disk where the file was located has not been overwritten by new files. However with Outlook Express it is probably more difficult. It stores all of your individual emails inside special files; the deleted emails would have been in the file deleted.dbx, but when that folder was emptied the dbx file is replaced. That means the old copy or part of it was probably overwritten. I'm not positive of course but I'm skeptical about being able to get them back.
