How do I get my deleted folder back?
 
I accidentally deleted an entire folder in OE instead of deleting just the
single message I had intended. After checking both the web service, and my
ISP's own mail client for the folder (no luck), I contacted the ISP, who
promised to try to recover it, but it's been over 24 hours since my contact
to them--and nothing.

Is there a way to get this folder back?

Have you looked in your Deleted Items folder to see if it's there?

Good thought Alias. It's not there, but I did find the Outlook Express
folder, and--while the deleted folder doesn't show up by name--it may be in
another one of the folders there. What program opens a DBX file?

If you are running Win2K, WinXP or Win2K3 then DBXtract will find any
messages on the hard drive that have not actually been overwritten.

DBXtract does not have the capability of analyzing the entire hard drive.
Only DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) does this.

And it he has an intact dbx file, which seems unlikely, he can manually
import it via the method in the last paragraph he
www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx , which doesn't require purchasing a 3rd party
program. But that is only if the file is not corrupt.

Only Outlook Express. If the deleted folder isn't there, you'll need to
use an extract program like DBXtract.

Now you know that back up is a computer user's best friend. A good, free
back up for OE can be found at: http://www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/Default.aspx
