Urgent Help please - Have I deleted all messages on server?

Dear All,

May I have your attentions please regarding my stupid actions of
backing up my outlook group account messages <message header only> due
to exceeding the mail account quota?


Background:
In my company, our group email account has limited quota and thus we
need to create another new email account just for keeping the old
message when our group accounts hit the quota limit.

This so-call archive email account is just for backing up all old mails
and not for receiving any incoming message nor in associate with any
live email address, so we manage to keep this archive account clean and
always keep it until the limited quota. This archive email account is
not locally resided on our desktop but somewhere in our centralized
server backup server.


Problem:
Today, when I do the clean up (just backing up the old messages from a
particular folder in live group account to archive mailbox) of our live
group account, I didn;t aware that only the header of the messages are
downloaded to my local desktop (cached mode is enabled on my desktop),
so no wonder I can quickly 'move' the old messages from a particular
folder in live account to archive account within few minutes, and after
I finished the backup task, I log off the group account and re-login to
my personal mail account that has association with the group account. I
notice that all the messages body in archive account are missing but
only the header information. Now, I am aware that I did a stupid
action of just moving the messages header but not the entirely
messages. Afterward, I try to re-login to the group account and wait
for the completion of messages synchornization to see if I can get the
moved messages contents back, no luck, seem like all messages contents
have gone.

I deeply appreciate for anyone can tell me if there is any possible way
for me to get the messages back, or I need to perform a restore action
to restore the disappeared contents.

Million thanks,
java_space
