Guest Iain Cheall Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 if its deleted i thinks its gone but check in adjacent folders it might have just been misplaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iain Cheall Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 just had a quick play with my Outlook express by making a folder putting a daft email in it and deleted it it was moved into the deleted files folder within outlook express look there if thats what you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 if you know the header of any of the mails try using the search facility from the start menu. If its on your computer it will find it somewhere. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 oh man, no luck i'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldEngraver Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 alternatively use the find function of outlook as windows search will not always find emails. Yake it you are using outlook and not a web mail client? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Andy do you use Outlook Express for your mail? Before you go any further, make sure you don't defrag your hard drive (most people don't know it exists anyway). Defragging will wipe what you've lost before you've had a chance to look for it. Let me know what mail client you're using and we'll see what we can do about restoring the folder. Seems ironic that! I've only just finished fixing my dad's laptop and used the forum to check his connection - and come across this!! Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I use office outlook, not the express one. and my mail client is swiftinter.net, fingers crossed Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Andy, I've sent you a PM. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravograph_John Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Andy Do a search through windows for *.pst If you can find this file, then try copying it back into the Outlook folder within the office folder and this should help. If this doesnt make sense, gimme a call!!! Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 You may have to talk me through that one John. I will give you a bell as soon as it's died down a bit. I'm up to me eyes with engraving at the moment. your laser is going like the guns all day long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
