Hello,

Yesterday, I copied a profile over to another profile. When I logged into the second profile and modified the Outlook account, all of the original person's emails were in there. So, I deleted them. When I logged back into the original account, all of the emails were gone.

Why would this happen? It was two separate profiles.

Is there anyway to recover these lost emails?

If you really are using Outlook (not Outlook Express), the deleted emails remain in the .PST files, even after you empty the deleted items folder, until you compress the .PST files. A data recovery tool like Easy Recovery Professional, by Ontrack, should help you get them back.

OTOH, if you are using Outlook Express, you probably just need to switch identities to see the missing email. Otherwise, the software above should help as well.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think this situation is important enough to purchase software for it. I was just wondering if there was a free and easy way to do it that I didn't know about.
