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
