Deleted Items Folder Recovery

[Bob T.]

I'm a home office user (running my e-mail set-up through a POP3/SMTP
configuration) and do not have a Microsoft Exchange Server. But my Deleted
Items folder MUST be kept somewhere on my system, no? I inadvertently
deleted the contents of my Deleted Items folder yesterday without first
checking its contents and I apparently had mistakenly moved several e-mails
there instead of saving them in their respective Saved Mail files and now I
find I really need them today. Is there ANY WAY I can recover them even
though I'm not a big company using a Microsoft Exchange Server? I'll
appreciate whatever help you can offer. Thanks!

Chances are they're gone for good, unless you make regular backups, but see
if this helps:
