First find the OE store directory, which will be listed as the "Original Location" for the folder files in the Recycle Bin. (It's something like C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\<32 char string>\Microsoft\Outlook Express.)

Select all the OE folder files in the Recycle Bin, right-click on them, and choose Restore.

Now navigate to the OE store directory. Rename all the .dbx files to something like .new (don't delete them until you know everything is working properly), except for Folders.dbx, which needs to be left alone. So Inbox.dbx becomes Inbox.new.

Rename all the .bak files (which were restored from the Recycle Bin) to .dbx (Inbox.bak becomes Inbox.dbx).

Restart OE. All your original files will be used.
Also, I think that this information will be useful to you.
