How To Recover A Deleted Email Folder In Live Mail

Today I somehow managed to delete one of my email folders in Windows Live Mail (from my desktop email program) and since it is the folder I store all of my work emails in, no need to say, I'm a bit frantic. My email is set to empty my deleted folder on exit so however I managed to delete the whole folder it's not in my deleted folder.

I've seen Recuva's free program recommended and I've seen a suggestion to restore my computer from the last restore point. Are either of these a possible solutions?

And, yes I know I'm a complete idiot for not having an anywhere close to current backup (especially since I have a brand new external drive setting in front of me, still in the box)

Any help, suggestion or comments will be appreciated.

Thanks
Linda

 

System Restore certainly won't help - it doesn't touch your personal stuff at all. Among your remaining WLM folders is there a Recovery folder or anything similar? If not I fear your folder may be permanently gone. Run Recuva by all means - nothing to lose - and make sure you recover anything you find to a different drive.

 

Thank you

I did look thru there and didn't find anything from Windows Live.
