Ouch!

Presumably you deleted it with, ie. from within, Windows Mail?

There are utilities available for recovering emails deleted
from the Deleted folder but I've not heard of anything
that will recover whole folders.

One possibility is to recover it from a backup but,
inspite of it being computer safe practice 101,
many people don't bother to regularly backup their data.

It may be possible to recover it from disk with a
deleted files recovery tool but that would probably cost
at least a few bucks with no guarantee. of success.

Do you take regular backups?
 
OH MY GOD!!
By accident I clicked on the Deleted Items and then double clicked Delted
there was a sub-folder inside it that I deleted. I was astonished!!

Hi Karen,

If you did delete it in Windows Mail, check in the "Deleted Items"
folder. Hopefully it may be in there.

Oops... good thinking Batman!.
I've never seen a folder moved to there but that doesn't
mean that the content of the deleted folder isn't.

Cool.

Shawn has just posted that you should look in the Deleted items.

Anyway...

Now make sure you are backing up your data on a regular basis.
Overnight every night is a good plan.

Or get a 3rd party product.
