Restoring deleted outlook files?

So I installed this program ACT on my bosses laptop, it is supposed to work with outlook, but she only has outlook express;

When I installed it it deleted all the old emails that she had; How can I get them back?

Will a system restore do it?

ekkksss, usually if the contents of the deleted items folder is deleted, there are gone…unless there is another undelete program installed when the files would be archived.

depending on the way the mail system is setup you might have better luck getting back-ups from the server

they were in the inbox, not deleted

I installed a program and they were gone

Do I call the server place for the back ups

^yeah, they may have these on tape if a recent backup was done.

Ugh is it 5 yet

is the email account setup as imap or pop?

where all the messages in there overnight? usually the servers are backed up everynight

pop, this happened like 2 days ago

if its pop, do a search on her machine for the files.

they might still exist somewhere

has she been able to receive new mail from the past 2 days after those other ones got deleted?

yes well I had to redo the outlook settings
