			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve deleted emails from an Outlook PST file, and emptied the &#8216;Deleted Items&#8217; folder; there is a way to recover those emails&#8230;</p>
<p>This will sound strange, but it works!!!<br />
<strong><br />
Important!!</strong><br />
Since we will deliberately corrupting the PST file, I strongly suggest that you make a copy of it first!</p>
<p><strong><em>Step 1</em></strong><br />
Download a free &#8216;HEX Editor&#8217;.  I&#8217;ve used the <a title="HDD Hex Editor" href="http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html" target="_blank">HDD HEX Editor</a>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 2</strong></em><br />
After making a copy of your PST file, open it with the HEX Editor.  Delete the positions (using the space bar) 7 through 13.<br />
<span class="contentText">(00007 &#8211; 00008 &#8211; 00009 &#8211; 0000a &#8211; 0000b &#8211; 0000c &#8211; 0000d &#8211; 0000e &#8211; 0000f &#8211; 00010 &#8211; 00011 &#8211; 00012 &#8211; 00013)</span></p>
<p><span class="contentText">The HEX Editor</span> will display the code &#8220;20&#8243; for each position deleted.</p>
<p>Once done, save your PST file.  It is now corrupted.</p>
<p><strong><em>Step 3</em></strong><br />
Now, open up the &#8216;Inbox Repair Tool&#8217; (scanpst.exe).  The program is usually stored here:<br />
<span class="contentText">C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT</span></p>
<p><span class="contentText">The program will scan the PST, then make a backup.  After the backup is done, it will repair the PST file.</span></p>
<p><span class="contentText">For more information about this program, see: </span><span class="contentText"><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287497" target="_blank">Microsoft Knowledge Base article 287497</a></span>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 4</strong></em><br />
Once complete, you can open the PST file with Outlook, and you will find your deleted emails have been restored!</p>
