Hi all experts,

Is anyone know some tools which can help me to recover a deleted folder in Outlook 98. I find that the size of my PST file still remains unchanged. So I think it is still have change to recover that folder out. Waiting for your advice.

When you delete an item, folder or mesage, it goes (obviously) to the deleted items folder.  Folders will show up under this folder instead of in it.  In other words, click the plus (+) next to your deleted items folder for that pst and it is probably there.  It won't show up if you click on the deleted items folder like messages do, but it will if you expand the deleted items folder.

To JAmenta,

Yes. You are right. But unlucky, I empty my deleted items as well. Would you have any tools like R-Studio which can scan my pst file likes scan my filesystem for recovery ?

Thanks for your help.

Open your deleted items folder then click Tools>Recover Deleted Items, you should then see a list of items that you have recently deleted. Then click the Recover selected Items icon.

Thanks for your comment. But the recover deleted items function only appear in Outlook XP but I am using Outlook 98.

I just hard deleted a folder with other folders in it.  Went through the same process as befor, but it didn't recover everything this time.  Any possible reason?  The log file created by scanpst was also much larger than last time.  This worked so well last time I just am wondering if something has changed.
