Can I find an email I deleted?

If it's Outlook Express then each file is stored as a separate file I think (sorry, I'm a reasonable expert on Exchange/Outlook but Outlook Express is a mystery to me) so it might be recoverable by an "undelete" application.
For example

Potentially, your ISP may still have a copy of the incoming email, although it depends how much of an archive they keep and whether they can be so inclined to look for it for you.Says James, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world

Poo - no it isn't - the two weeks in which the email came in aren't there - typical!0

Can't find a trash can! I didn't look at the voucher either - saw what it was in the heading and didn't download it.0

was the voucher just text in an email or a file such as a jpg or a pdf - did you view the file attachment ? If so it may be in ur temp files ... if so ...Rich people save then spend.

This one looks promising. Make sure you back it up first!!!!!
That's no good as the OP is using Outlook Express which has a different storage method.
The deleted e-mail will still be in the Deleted Items.dbx file in the store folder (OE, Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder)
Navigate to this folder using Windows Explorer and make a copy of the Deleted Items.dbx folder to somewhere safe on your hard drive. If you then Google for a program called OEView, you should then be able to view your e-mail.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Did you forward it on to anyone? If so, you might still have it in your "sent items" folder.0
