    Hi, is there a way to find deleted emails on the comp? Is there a hidden folder or something that I can access?

    Thanks in advance.

    How "deleted" are they? Still in the deleted folder or did you already empty it?

    already emptied. I've heard though that nothing is REALLY completely deleted though. Is this true?

    Thanks in advance!:)

    Locate the appropriate *.dbx file, and open it in a text editor.

    You'll find all your email here, as long as you did not compact your email folders....

    You can view *.dbx files with "DBxtract ". Download from here .

    It's freeware, a little tricky to use but will do the job.
