Recover email that has been deleted in MS Outlook 2002

[cs_woman2004]

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to recover some emails I deleted some months ago. I use
Windows XP, and MS Outlook 2002.

As I said, some months ago I moved several emails (some were a year
old, so I can't recover them from my email account's web server) that
were in my Inbox and my Sent folder to the Deleted Items folder. Then
I emptied the Deleted Items folder. Now I realize I need some of those
emails, and I'm trying to find a way to get them back.

In MS Outlook 2002 one can't go to the files menu (at least I think
it's that menu) and choose restore files. This is possible in other MS
Outlook versions.

I have two pst files. One is called archieve.pst. That one I can
import to Outlook, and I can read those emails. However, the other pst
file is even bigger, but when I import it I can't find any new email.
Why is that, and how should I do to recover my lost email? I mean, the
data must be stored somewhere on my computer's hard drive, right?

If someone can answer this I'd be very greatful!

Judging from the length of time, I'd say your chances are close to zero, and
if you compacted your PST in that time, I'd say they _are_ zero. However,
