Actually I was hoping the folder had been dropped into another folder - but it was gone. With about 8 sub-folders there would be about 15,000 email messages in it! The "deleted" emails that get emptied from the Deleted Items folder do not get permanentely deleted until the folder is compacted. That is why I suggested you use DBXtract to extract the emails from that folder. They should all have been there, providing DBXtract can handle 15,000 emails, that is.	FoxyMX (5)
