I had a group set up but a member chaged email addresses. I added the new but
when I tried to delete the old- the whole disapeared.
Please can I get it back?
Urgent!

If you deleted the entire item it would be in your Deleted Items folder.

Thank You however, that is the first place I looked and it was not in Deleted
items folder. That is why I sent this urgent request. Is there any whehere
else to look?

Also , windows did an auto update and restarted the computer which is set to
empty deleted items. I had searched it long before that .

You could have added those details and saved us some time.
Once they are removed from Deleted Items, they are gone.
Restore from a backup.

Russ- I checked the Deleted items folder immediately and THE GROUP I DELETED
was not there.
It was not until hours later that the computer did a restart.
Is there anyway? I did not understand the suggestion regarding Restore from
a backup? I am not sure what that means.
Sorry- if too difficult I will try looking for an old send with the group
in it- In that case how would I collect those and make a new group of of them?
Thank you for your help!

It means that periodically you make copies of all your important data,
placing them on a medium OTHER THAN your hard drive so that, in the event of
a problem such as you have, you'll be able to put that data back on your
hard drive. There are plenty of tools, many free, that can help you
accomplish this.

Odd. How did you delete this DL? Every DL I've ever deleted went straight to
the Deleted Items Folder.
However, DL's are notoriously fragile and unreliable. Few of us use them for
that reason. This might be a good incentive for you to learn about using
more reliable ways to group Contacts such as Categories or separate Contact
Subfolders.

Oh thank you Brian,
I have backed up my hard drive on Maxtor not long ago. Can you tell me
where I would look for the contacts file? That is where it would be right?
I am just a lil old lady and not very computer litterate. Thanks you so much.

I sent out a mailing to the group. I got back an email saying all mail to a
certain address was to be sent instead to another address.
I opened up the group to show all the names in the group
I hit add and added the new email address then I scrolled down to the one
that needed to be removed and highlighted it- I saw a delete button and
clicked it .
The entire grooup was gone.
I looked in the folder "Deleted Items" all that contained was deleted
messages.
Am I looking in the wwrong Deleted Items folder? What do you mean by "DL"

What you mean by "group?" DL = Distribution List. That's what you're using.
There is no such thing as a "group."
There should only be one Deleted Items Folder. I suspect your DL is gone. No
great loss. They rarely survive very long anyway. I'd recommend using an
alternative to a DL instead of trying to recreate it.
