This is a message I had saved regarding recovering deleted messages from the deleted items folder. I have not personally tried what the poster suggests but he feels the following should work but evidentially it will require quite a bit of work. How jaws friendly this procedure is, is yet another issue. Good luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl F.

Although there can obviously be no guarantee that you can recover your lost messages:, I disagree with Moti's advice and assure you that I have recovered lost messages after deletion from the deleted items folder far too often to recall. It certainly can be done--sometimes easily, while at other times easily but tediously because you might have to search through hundreds of messages to find the handful you wish to recover. I find myself doing this a couple of times each year and it has become quite routine, at least with regard to Outlook Express. I musst admit, however, that it has been a couple of years since I last recovered deleted items from Microsoft's Outlook but assure you that this too can be done after selective reading, with minimal preparation and with minimal complexity, but you must be willing to invest several hours of your time. FYI: Rather than import recovered messages en mass into Outlook or OE, let me suggest that you search the recovered messages in "raw form" otherwise you will have to peruse them all again and then delete them from within OE or Outlook. To recover both lost and corrupted messages from Outlook Express conduct a Google search on DBXTRACT.EXE or DBXTRACT.ZIP. Visit the author of this program's web site and download the program: the free version is quite adequate--fully up to the task of recovery--and you need not purchase the alternative program carrying a price tag; the best instructions for using the program will be found on the author's web site and on two or three web sites operated by Microsoft Most Valued Professionals (MSVPs) whose specialty is issues involving Outlook Express. Regarding Outlook: I have not been using Outlook as much as OE these past two years, and my knowledge has become somewhat rusty and out of date. Given the number of versions of Outlook in use it is prudent for me to suggest that other listers respond with the information you need to recover MS Outlook messages. By way of encouragement let me say that I cannot recall ever failing to retrieve deleted messages! cfv ----- Original Message ----- From: "Moti Azrad, Musician & Piano-Tuner" Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 3:05 AM Subject: Re: Lost messages in either out look, or outlook express > Hi Al, > > In oe, when you delete or a message had been deleted, it goes to the deleted > items, and only if you delete from this level, the messages will be totally > lost and no option to recover them. > I don't know of a problem in this subject. > > Moti > > Israel > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "cutolo.albert" > > Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 5:57 AM > Subject: Lost messages in either out look, or outlook express > > > : Hello everyone, > : Some time between July forth, and July fifth, My girl friend went into her > : in box of out look to read her messages, and at least ten of them were > lost > : or had been deleted by some thing too do with micro soft, or there might > : have a possible corruption of her out look.
