I also had a client complain about their deleted items being emptied.
"But that's where I keep all my information!" "Umm...why don't you rather create a few sub folders...?" So... I had this note filed away but I cannot vouch for its success: Note: Only works if PST has not been compacted! 1) Make a copy of the PST *NB!NB!NB!* 2) Open the copied PST in a hex editor. 3) Fill addresses 00000006 - 00000012 with 20h 4) Save the corrupted PST. 5) Use SCANPST.exe, to recover the file (c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287497 Open the recovered PST in Outlook; the deleted items should be back. -- Peter van Houten On the 01/12/2009 01:03, Hilderbrand, Doug wrote the following:

I was working for an afterhours customer and instinctively emptied their Outlook deleted items folder. What a mistake. They needed some of the files, they just wanted them out of the inbox. I gotta watch that itchy delete finger. Any ideas? I know that a pst is really a little database file and stuff doesn't get deleted until you "compact" it. But how do you surface the deleted files again? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We value your opinion! How may we serve you better?
