Until you Compact a folder, deleted messages aren't really deleted, they
are just marked for deletion.

Since you were trying to recover from a corrupted folder, Steve's
program played it safe and recovered everything that it could find.

What you can do is drag all the recovered mails to a new empty OE
folder. Then sort on the date column to sort on that field. Then click
the first message that you want to delete and then Shift+click on the
last message that you want to delete. Those messages should now all be
highlighted. You can now delete them. Then compact the folder and they
will be gone forever.

Hey,

OK following on from my problem with compacted emails, I used the
restore tool by Steve. It managed to extract thousands (literaly -
3538
to be exact) of emails! However, a lot of them date back as far as
2004. Where exactly do those files go? I deleted them from outlook
express (right click folder - Delete. Removed from Deleted Items
Folder also) but they still seem on the system? If I could just find
the location of all folders/emails from 2006 ONLY myself, id back them
up and put them on another blank HDD and run the tool on that so it
extracts the 2006 ones only.

Cheers for all the help

Regards,
Kevin
