Error in deleting e-mail

I have a question concerning Windows Vista. I am trying to recover an e-mail
I received in Microsoft Office Outlook and which I inadvertently deleted two
days ago. I also purged the "deleted items" folder. I am sure, however that
this particular e-mail was on my machine the last time I backed up my files
on a CD.

When I open the CD file for the back-up date, I cannot find it. Can anyone
tell me what section of the C Drive would have the e-mail messages?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Gene L.

Your .pst file is in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.

If you backed up your outlook data file, and restored it from a backup to
the origonal location then all data from that backup date to currrent date
will be lost. If you have the option restore the outlook data file(s) to
your Documents folder, Then within Outlook open that data file.

PS a much better option, in future, is to use the free backup add-in from MS
and set it to store the backups on your Documents folder

You have to corrupt specific characters at the beginning of the .pst
file. Corrupt the wrong characters and the index, and thus the deleted
items flagged as deleted but still present, cannot be recovered.

This is not an error which will normally occur in an Outlook data file
so it would be most unusual for a standard error scan with Scanpst to
recover deleted items.
