Accidently Deleted e-mails in Outlook 2007

Hi all,

I (stupidly) accidently deleted 160 of my e-mails in Outlook 2007.

They are still on Telstra's Web Mail.

Is there any way of recovering them into Outlook's Inbox?

Thanks,

Skorpio.

Pooch Beast

The answer is still No, Read and understand the question properly.
The only possibility is to resend them from the WEB Mail account but that is another
story by itself

When Outlook retrieves e-mails, it records their message-ids. This
eliminates it from accidentally re-retrieving the same e-mails at a
later time. It also means that since Outlook already retrieved those
e-mails that it won't try again - under your current profile.

Create a new mail profile and retrieve the old e-mails into that new
profile. Each profile utilizes a different message store (.pst). So
login under your original profile and then use File -> Open to open the
new profile's .pst file. You can then drag the items that got retrieved
in the new .pst file into your old .pst file. After successfull
completion of the re-retrieve, delete the new profile (do whatever you
want with its .pst file).
 
Sorry guys,

I didn't want to create a war over this. TYVM for all your advice.

It seems from the answers that I've got, there is no "official" way of
retrieving them through Outlook 2007.

I will try Paul's suggestion of unticking "leave a copy of messages on the
server" temporarily & do a send and receive and see what happens.

The suggestion of creating a new profile sounds interesting too, so if I
don't get any success with Paul's method, I will try the new profile (TY
VanguardLH for that).

If nothing else works, I guess the only thing left to do, as Paul suggested
is to forward them all to myself from my Web Mail.

Thanks guys once again for your help. I just can't understand it. It
happened while I was reading an e-mail in the lower pane & must have had my
mouse clicked on the e-mail in the upper pane & I accidently had my finger
resting on the Del Key, I must have touched it a bit harder & before I knew
it 160 e-mails were completely gone, they didn't even go into my Deleted
Box. I think that's the strange part.

Anyway, as I say TYVM for all your help & suggestions. One way or the other,
as I have said, I should be able to at least get them Forwarded to myself
from my Web Mail Box.

Cheers, Skorpio.
