Hi:

I am sure that Recuva used to have the capability to recover emails deleted from Outlook Express 6, but I am using the Tree View and cannot find the location of these deleted emails after running the scan.

Am I missing something or has Recuva lost the capability to recover deleted emails?

Thanks

I wouldn't think that Recuva can recover deleted emails. Outlook Express stores all you emails in *.dbx files. Each sub folder your mail is given a dbx file extension, your inbox is Inbox.dbx. Therefore if you delete an email e.g. in your inbox it only removes the file from the Inbox.dbx file. Recuva only shows files that have been deleted, the Inbox.dbx is still present.

You can setup your Outlook Express options not to delete emails from your Deleted Items when you exit OE. ;)

If it's a specific email you can browse the dbx files with wordpad and perhaps find the deleted file, I've never tried this so chances of success are low.

Deleted emails can be recovered provide they have not got overwritten by now with new email messages. As once the data gets overwritten its highly impossible by any data recovery software or by using any data recovery services to recover.

Try with Outlook Express Email Recovery (.dbx) advanced dbx repair software, and check if you can recover your deleted email.
