...it has been deleted from the Deleted Items folder? Or is there someway in the future to allow items when deleted from here to be placed somewhere like a backup so I can retrieve them if need be. By the way, this is with Outlook Express.

Thanks.

Matt.

Don´t think so. Maybe a special recovery tool would help but I don´t know any winXP internal tools to backup the deleted files.

the earlier comment about it being gone is incorrect. Windows contains a database of used and unused clusters, when you delete something it simply marks the cluster as unused, the data is still there, just don't write anything to the disk because than the data will actually be replaced with the newer, i don't know of any programs that do this though

yea and if your swap file jus happens to use that cluster, say goodbye to it.

Once they're gone, they are gone. I save e-mail things on floppy's and CD-RW's. I also have a fool-proof back for important e-mails: I have 8 different e-mail addys with my cable internet connection. One I only use for forwarding important things to then routinely download and put the stuff on CD-RW's. You will notice that you can drag e-mail items to the desktop and they also stay in the inbox. Put them into a back-up folder on a separate hd or hd partition. I think that about covers it...

replace admin with your user name, and the serial number will be diff for each install too, inbox and outbox.dbx contain all your emails
