Is there a way to recover deleted e-mail messages from Outlook Express.

Deleted messages in all versions of Outlook go into the deleted items folder.

If you have emptied it, then the messages are no longer there to get back unless you have a backup of the outlook folders or you have exported them to another file to save them.

VinnyD is correct.

In OE, the folders only exist while OE is open. When you close OE, all messages are saved in .dbx files.
There is 1 file for each OE folder, and an additional file with a list of all the folders.
