Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone can help? I have Outlook Express, and need to find a deleted email. Now the question is can I restore the deleted emails is this possible. I am assuming I need to go to the Recycle Bin and restore, but where do the restored files go from here?

Sorry if this is really obvious :)

Thanks

Wendy

    Hi, deleted messages will be placed in the OE 'Deleted Items folder' where they will remain until you delete them, unless you have enabled deletion of the contents of the 'Deleted Items folder' on close down of OE.

    To recover deleted messages that have been deleted from the 'Delete folder' will require special recovery software which is also dependent on the folders not being compacted.
    7 day trial version of such a program. Not used it myself so not personally recommended.
