recovering lost emails from .pst

[jthierman]

Hi-

I accidentally deleted my "saved emails" folder from my Personal
Folders in outlook 2003 and later emptied the "deleted items" folder.
I lost over a year's worth of important email! Before I defrag my
hard drive (much needed), is there ANY WAY I can recover these
emails?? (they were not left on the IMAP email server). Doesn't
Microsoft hide them somewhere or archive them somehow in case an idiot
like me makes this mistake? (they do not seem to be part of my
archive.pst backup file when I opened that to look at what was saved
there). I searched my computer for other .pst files, but none
contained the lost email folder. Is there any way to "roll back" to a
previous version of my .pst the same way I can roll back my system
files to a prior version?

Thanks!
Jonathan

Until an Expert appears you might try?google for File Recovery utilities (ie)
http://www.pctools.com/file-recover/ --- Trial Ver may can FIND a Folder but
you have to BUY to RECOVER it.

DnLoad the MS Backup Utility & schedule it often as I do:

Good luck!
