Extract from disk mode. Not Recover mode. Recover mode is for physically
deleted messages. bad naming on the author's part.

If the mail was important to you, you could download DBXpress and run it
in Recover from Disk mode unless the scanning has overwritten the info in
the files with "zeroes."

Don't be uncomfortable with disabling email scanning. Even Symantec
admits it is not needed:

quote Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email
Scanning?
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email
and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection,
keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you
have the most recent virus definitions. /endquote

Thank you Jim for the info. I am sure that Norton AV is the culprit. I
had suddenly received a bunch of virus attacks over the past few days
and I WAS scanning in-coming e-mail. I am unccomfortable about turning
off the scanning.

I don't have much hope of retrieving lost e-mail at this point. Live
and learn!
Thank You
Ionamic
