Vista - Recovering mail from the Recycle Bin

Using Windows Mail, I inadvertently deleted some mail and then sent it off
to the Recycle Bin!

Now how can I recover it?

Thanks, folks

Windows email messages are in the *.EML format. Perhaps you will need to
show file extensions in control panel/Folder Options.

In Control Panel | Folder Options | View I went ahead and enabled show
hidden files and unchecked 'Hide Extensions for Known File Types'.

Is there some other option to show file extensions that I could enable?

However, my Recycle Folder is totally empty and does not show the missing
e-mail files, with or without any extensions.

Help - I am in panic mode now, since I lost a lot of e-mails and my boss is
screaming murder!

I'm more than willing to be corrected, but as far as I know deleted mail is
permanently deleted and never goes into the recycle bin in the first place.
Where it goes, I've no idea, but this has been the case with Windows
previously, and is not new in Vista. This is why you get the second warning
asking if you want to delete the items permanently.

Look at:
C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail

There might be a WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file you can rightclick to
'restore previous version'

This might also be available in a less used user ID.
