imi Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Will this also work for emails that were deleted using SHIFT+DEL from a LOCAL archive folder and NOT from the exchange server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Will this also work for emails that were deleted using SHIFT+DEL from a LOCAL archive folder and NOT from the exchange server? Yup, it should do, they will be the original folder and not the deleted items folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Cool, i'll see if I can get remote access to her machine and try it out. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 only seems to allow me to recover deleted files from the exchange server and not from the archive folder locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm pretty sure the recover deleted items option isn't available for offline folders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's what I think as well, you need the exchange backend to recover deleted mails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 So what are my options for recovering the emails deleted from local archive folders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You might be able to run a file recover program to bring them back, but if you've used the computer in the mean time, then you've reduced the chance to bring them back. TBH I'm not 100% sure how Outlook stores it's Mail Boxes, but if it's in a pst file per folder then you're pretty stuck. Hopefully someone else might be able to come up with anything else.
