Hi Andy. To the best of my knowledge, the Deleted Items folder is the last stop for all messages in most E-mail clients. In the case of OE, I think the only way you could retrieve a message at a later date would be to Backup the Deleted Items.DBX file before emptying the Deleted Items folder, then restoring it at a later date. This however would recover all deleted messages as opposed to individual ones, which I suspect is not what you want to do.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to retrieve an e-mail message once it has been deleted and removed from the Deleted Items box. Best wishes. Andy -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
