No, you're not Greg... ;-) There does seem to be a lack of understanding of how Outlook stores it's info... My response to James was on the wider issue of 'undeleting' files in the Windows file system, rather than from within Outlook itself...

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?
