General OE Caveats:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- *Empty Deleted Items folder daily*
- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm
- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I accidently clicked "Empty Deleted Items" folder. Is there a way to
recover messages after this happens. Thanks to all in advance.
