HELP!!!! Outlook problem, very desperate!!

[pickers]

Hi,

Need some help quickly! I've accidently deleted some messages permanently (i.e. they aren't in the deleted items folder) by accident that it turns out I really need! Is there anyway of getting them back as they aren't in the recycle bin or are they gone forever. Please say I can get them back some how...

outlook stores its messages in an index file, not as separate files. since the file changes every time you recieve or delete a message, there's no way to recover messages lost in this way.

depending on how important the messages are, you might want to consider asking your isp if they have any of their mail server contents on tape

If you are connected to an exchange server you can recover deleted items - otherwise you are about to find out why backing up is a good thing I'm afraid

If the important information was lower down in an email thread that you have previously replied to then you may want to check your 'Sent Items' folder.
