Deleted E-Mail messages

[Jimijamz]

Regarding Outlook 2000. Once again I prove to be a fool. I created a rule
using "rules wizard" that states "Apply this rule after the message arrives
suspected to be junk e-mail or from "Junk Senders" permantly delete it. This
morning, I come to work open Outlook get my usual spam. I selected each of
the spam email's then selected "Add to Junk Senders list". I then opened the
rules wizard and chose "Run Now". At this time coffee had not even set in
but my eyeballs popped out as every one of my messages including non-spam
disappeared. I checked my "Junk Senders' list" and none of the non-spam
senders were listed.

This is a long winded way of saying "HELP". Is there any way to retrieve
those messages from never-never land?
Forget about Archive, these messages were from last week and I have auto
archive turned off. I guess that will teach me, huh?

Archive doesn't have to do anything with this. You need a backup.

Wow, Thank you mighty one of knowledge.
Unfortunately, that is what I was afraid you would say. I guess if wishes
were horses, beggars would ride. So, until I locate our infamous offsite
back up tape I'll be walking for awhile.
