OE6.0 deleted folder recovery

[Jasong]

I have managed to accidentally delete a folder containing mail
actually from within the deleted items folder itself, which
'permanantly' deletes it according to OE. I don't think this is the
case and there must be some way of retrieving this folder, does
anybody have any ideas?

This seems to be an Outlook Express issue - try one of
their newsgroups.

As an overall issue: If you have important mail items then
you should consider backing up all OE files once every
day or once every week. Again the OE newsgroup can
tell you which files need backing up.

If I recall correctly this is NOT the same as "undeleting" files. What
you did was wipe out the pointers and data inside the Outlook file. As
Pegasus said you should try an Internet Explorer/Outlook Express
newsgroup for a better explaination but in my view you are talking
microsurgery on a datafile, not just pressing the undelete key. Good luck.
