Not picking on James, here. I just picked his name at random for this thread. I'm a little mystified on this question and the answers suggesting the use of an undelete program. These applications are for restoring items from the file system. Outlook uses a database to store messages and, because of this, deleting a message never actually produces anything that a file undelete program will be able to see. Ami I missing something?
