Finding postings deleted from Outlook Express

15 years ago

How can I and where is the items I delete from Outlook Express. They are not in the recycle bin. Do I have a deleted item file? I do not have that problem with web mail. I have XP .

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Most email clients have a deleted or trash folder. Have you checked there?

In Outlook Express, all deleted messages go to the "Deleted" folder. I have mine set to delete those on closing the program. Maybe yours is set that way and that is why you cannot find them.

try getting malwarebytes and update it then run full scan. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop. * Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. * At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish. * If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. * Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan. * When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. * Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. * When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt * Please post the contents of that file in your next reply be sure you allow it to clean what it finds, you may need to reboot.

I have just loaded Outlook on a new notebook, Outlook 2002. I've used this version of Outlook since 2002, but alas that notebook did a big crash. The good news, I had all but the last two days of message folders on a back up drive, in a folder called "Exchange". Now, on my old XP home there was a folder called "OutlookFolders" which had "Exchange" and other details in it. So, all I need to do is copy the back-up data into the new computer's "OutlookFolders", but I can't find them, nor can the XP search. I do have folders maked to shoe hidden. Any help would be appreciated.

Unless I am too old school you shouldn't need any add-on. Open OE. Tools>Options>General Tab>Send/Receive Message area. Select Play Sound......., and Check for New Messages... including whatever time duration you select. After that just open OE and leave it open. The If My Computer is not Connected is optional. DA

That is what I am looking for--the deleted folder or trash holder. I have looked ( I think) in everything in the top--file-edit-view-tool-message-help-- no trash holder, or deleted folder I don't remember creating one. So frustrating as I am looking for a message I deleted about a week ago.
Will go back and try again
Thanks

If you have already emptied/deleted them from the Deleted Items folder they are gone absent a successful use of an application such as RECUVA which will be iffy.

If you haven't and cannot find any Deleted Items folder, have you opened the Local Folder and/or any named dedicated folder by clicking on the + in front of it? This will reveal an account's tree.
