Hi Brenda, I downloaded that program and selected a file that had been deleted (not mail) and Highlighted it and then clicked the second button in...save file/directory. This brought up a window where I selected where to save it. Try one and save it to your documents, then minimize Drive Rescue and go look in My docs and see if it's there...and should be an .eml extension. If so click on it and it should bring up OE to read it. If not...back to the drawing board!
