I hope someone can help me! I accidentally emptied my wife's "deleted
items" folder and she normally keeps many months worth of stuff there.
Looking in windows explorer, I can see that the deleted.dbx file is very
large and I'm therefore assuming/hoping that everything is still there.
Question is, can I get it back any way? you help appreciated.

I believe this allows you to open/read dbx files:

MiTeC OE Viewer 1.2:

I'm not certain her files are even in there though but you could look with
that. If not here's some recovery software:

If you have not compacted since, try using one of the following programs
on the Deleted Items folder. In your defence, why would anyone put mail
they wished to save into the Deleted Items folder in the first place?

Thanks. Have now tried OE Viewer but it only shows messages added to
the deleted ityems folder after I emptied it :-(

Thanks. I have just discovered "OE-Mail Recovery" and it seems to be
doing the trick for me - fingers crossed! If it doesn't, I'll try one
of these.
