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?
