OE 6 I forgot I had not sent an email and deleted the draft accidently when I
closed. It's not in drafts, sent, deleted, outbox, anywhere! Is there anyway
to retrieve it from some temp file or something? Thanks!

Had the message ever been saved to drafts and you were attempting to
edit it? If so, you might be able to recover the previously saved
version if the Drafts folder has not been compacted.
See these programs:
DBXtract - http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx
DBXpress - http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx
DBXtend - http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtend/Default.aspx


If the message had just been started new and you have never done a save
on it, then it is gone forever.

Sorry, but if you didn't save it to Drafts yourself, it's gone for good.

Thanks for you replies, Tom and Michael. That's not what I wanted to hear,
but was afraid I might.
