I am using Microsoft Outlook 2000, and have acidently deleted some of
my important mails from my inbox, (not my pst folder),
Your Inbox is just a "folder" concept for hierarchical data storage in
your .pst file. The Inbox is indeed *in* the PST file. Unless you are
talking about the Inbox presented for your mailbox on the mail server
when you use your e-mail provider's webmail interface. In the latter
case, and if they support Shift+Del then the mail is gone permanently.
That's the permanent delete. Same as if you delete items from the
Deleted Items folder. It's gone. That is why it called a PERMANENT
delete.
Items that are in the 'Deleted Items' folder really haven't been
deleted. They've just been moved under this folder. Permanently
deleted items will become hidden because, well, they've been permanently
deleted and are not to ever be displayed. However, in fact, they are
just marked with a "deleted" status which is what makes them hidden. If
you or Outlook hasn't yet performed a compaction on your PST file then
it is possible to extract the delete-marked items by using DBxtract or
DBxpress (Google for them).
Of course, if your data was actually important to you then you could
restore from your backups. Then you could just restore yesterday's .pst
file. If you don't backup your data then you deemed it unimportant.
As I work on a remote server, so we donot have "RUN" also to
use the usual steps of recovery of permanently deleted mails.
Haven't a clue what you were trying to say here.
