Help, retrieving deleted e-mails.

Hi Ian, Once you deleted e-mails from the server or servers, it is no longer on the servers, and can not be restored, because the file no longer exist on the servers.

Good luck and have a great day.

I need to know a little bit more about your setup. You're using Outlook2000 on the desktop, but what is on the back end? If you're using Exchange as your e-mail server, there are some configuration settings you'll want to check and some of your prospects for recovery will depend on those.

If you're using an Outlook client to retrieve e-mail from a POP-3 server, it will depend on whether you have set it up to "leave mail on the server".

If you can re-post with more information along these lines, someone on the forum might have a better answer as to whether you can recover these items and if so, how.

It looks like you are trying to open a Outlook express folder with Outlook . Let me tell you that if the mail is in the deleted items folder then you can see it in outlook express unless OE has some problems . Anyways if you want to open it with Outlook then You need to Import it into Outlook as follows .
In MS Outlook open the file menu , select "import/export" then select " internet mail and addresses" , browse to the Outlook Express folder and press OK . Your deleted items folder will be imported to Outlook , so now you can view it .
Also Answer#1 is very valid , because if you have emptied the deleted items folder you can not retrieve it .

Much Luck !!!!!

Hello Ian,

There might be one escape route still available as long as you have only deleted messages and not compacted them. You may be able to retrieve nessages from your .pst file.
