dogshampoolady Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I accidentally *permanently* deleted all the messages in my deleted folder yesterday. (Outlook 2003) I do a weekly backup to an external hard drive, but I can't figure out where to look for the outlook deleted files. Can anyone help?thanks!

dogshampoolady Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I backup to an external hard drive using Bounceback. I do my entire C drive once a week. Is that what you needed to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Softguy Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 yes, search for the .pst file then import it in outlook. it should work.In the future you can consider using a dedicated software because is much more simple cause the software can save what you want, when you want and where you want it.Personally i use Outlook Express Backup Genie (download & try it fromhere)Cheers and good luck !
