Only files go to the Recycle Bin. Messages aren't files, they are just
some data within a file like text within a word processing document.
Even though there are folders within Outlook Express they aren't real
Windows folders.

If you haven't compacted your OE folders yet, you might be able to
recover some of the messages using one of these utilities:

Is there any way to undelete deleted messages that have been deleted
from the deleted items folder? Would they be in the Recycle Bin or
anywhere else? My phone line was down due to a storm, and my ISP
(BellSouth) started returning messages because my mailbox was full
(they don't allow much space!). I had a bunch of messages from them,
most of which I didn't bother to read because it's usually from one
sender, who sends huge things. Now I find out there were at least 2
important messages from other people that I didn't know about.
