While trying to delete very old "Sent" mail I seem to have deleted all
"Sent" mail. Is there a way of recovering this mail?
 
Have you closed Outlook since deleting the old sent mail?

might help.

Next time, archive the items you want removed from your active .pst file.

I've closed Outlook since accidently deleting sent mail however, I
periodically get an automatic message asking if I want to archive files and
I always say "yes". But, I can't find the Archives with a "search" of my
HD. Any ideas?

P.S. Milly, in response to your recent reply, I did a "search" for "*.pst"
on my hard drive and came up with zip. any ideas?

Have you looked in the Help system that is built into Outlook?- try putting
archive in and you may find something that helps.
You haven't given your version of Outlook, file formats can change over time
so perhaps your version uses a different format to pst?

The .pst file is a hidden file - you need to turn that option on when
searching for .pst files.
